Also, the Indian openers into the pavilion. He returned to complete his spell in the death overs. It was successful in scalping the wicket of Indian skipper Virat Kohli as well.
Shaheen Afridi will host the Super 12s clash. Between Pakistan and New Zealand, and Masood suggests that the New Zealand openers should look to be cautious. Against Afridi, who will bowl at least two overs with the new ball. They have a go at the openers.
“Shaheen has shown how dangerous he is to both left and right-handers. So, I think they should take it somewhat as a Test match or an ODI, where they look for the bad ball, but they also look to defend the good balls that he puts in, which he puts in a lot,” Masood said.
