Young Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi said his plan to trouble the Indian top-order with his fast inswinging yokers worked to perfection as his sensational spell contributed massively to the team’s first win over the arch-rivals in World Cup history.


Shaheen, who bowled three overs in the Powerplay, was right on the money up front, jolting India twice in his first two overs to give Pakistan a dream start. “Yes, it was for the first time I bowled three overs in the Powerplay. The ball was moving a bit, the conditions helped and I tried to give early breakthroughs. It really paid off,” Shaheen told reporters. “My strength is to bowl yorkers with the new ball.”
