Ahead of Pakistan’s semi-final clash against New Zealand in T20 World Cup in Sydney, legendary Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting has revealed that Shaheen Afridi, even if not at his best, will have more impact on the game than most “because of how good he is.”
Afridi missed the entire Asia Cup in the UAE and the seven-match T20I series against England at home before the T20 World Cup because of a knee injury, but Ponting said, even if the tall quick is operating at 90 per cent of his capacity, he is better than all the other bowlers.
