No one will forget yesterday\u2019s Asia Cup match between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The moments of Naseem Shah, Shadab Khan and Asif Ali will always linger at the back of our head as the team moves ahead in Asia Cup.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Pakistan Vs Afghanistan match was anything but smooth. With number of plot twists and many nail-biting instances, this match surpasses PakIndia match to become the most memorable one to date. If we could start counting the iconic moments from the game we would be needing extra hands because 10 fingers are not enough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If only our fingers had fingers.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Naseem Shah has become the talk of the Nation as he managed to help Pakistan qualify to the finals with his insane ending strikes. Like we said the match was not smooth and was insanely nerve-wrecking as Pakistan had only 6 balls left to score 11 whopping runs. Pakistan\u2019s run rate in the match did not exceed 6.8 once, therefore, this 11 score in one over seemed almost impossible. After hitting few successful strikes, Asif Ali unfortunately had to bid farewell to the pitch as his wicket was toppled by Afghanistan\u2019s Fareed Ahmed.<\/p>\n

And oh boy that\u2019s a whole different story.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

As Asif Ali was walking out people had almost lost all hope except for our players. They had a firm belief that they were going to walk out as winners. Naseem Shah, who was at one end of the pitch, asked Muhammad Hasnain, who was at the other end, to exchange the bats. After exchanging the bat, when we tell you that you could see the sparks of passion in Naseem\u2019s eyes we are not kidding.<\/p>\n

As the bowler ran ahead to bowl, people\u2019s heartbeats were no where near slowing down. Blood pressure and heartbeats were at the highest at this point.<\/p>\n

Get ready to read about the witnessed history!<\/h3>\n

As the ball approached Naseem with full spin, he did not think twice to swing his bat to his full capacity and scored a whopping, one of the most memorable, SIX. This six was the most needed six in the whole tournament. However, this wasn\u2019t the end and most definitely not for Naseem. At this point 5 runs were needed off of 5 balls and everyone was biting their nails to the edge. Naseem again managed to swing his bat and hit another boundary of six past the fielder into the edge of the field. These absolutely INSANE consecutive sixes helped qualify Pakistan to the Asia Cup finals. And this is how Naseem Shah became the star player of the night.<\/p>\n

After hitting the sixes the celebration of it was no less than the actual game. Naseem, as soon as finding out he hit another 6, ran across the field while throwing his bat, helmet and aggressively removing his gloves in celebration. The win pulled rest of the players to the field, like a magnet, to celebrate their victory and their star player. Hassan Ali, despite not being able to make it in the final lineup for Asia Cup, was the first one to get to the field and hug Naseem. The rest of the players soon came running to celebrate with Naseem. Check out the winning moment and celebration yourself.<\/p>\n
