Pakistan pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi had a difficult day with the ball as Perth Scorchers piled up a mammoth 257 for 6 in their 20 overs against Brisbane Heat in the 6th match at Brisbane.
Shaheen bowled his full quota of four overs but conceded 49 runs, finishing with figures of 4-0-49-1 at an economy rate of 12.25. Despite picking up a wicket, the left-arm quick struggled to contain the aggressive Scorchers batting lineup, who attacked from the very first over.
Perth’s batters maintained relentless pressure throughout the innings, forcing Brisbane Heat’s bowlers onto the back foot. Shaheen’s spell came under particular scrutiny as the run flow never slowed, highlighting the challenges faced by even elite fast bowlers in high-scoring T20 encounters.
With 257 on the board, Brisbane Heat now face a daunting chase in what has already turned into a run-fest at the venue.
