Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali went on the run
In which he ended up injured and barely standing in front of Pakistan, and especially Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali went into the running.
A match that was thrown into disarray and swept away, forever refusing to reveal a clear winner, came to an incredible climax. One team needed 17 runs. While the other needed a wicket. Anything was possible.
After the game, 13-year-old businessman Kemar Roach said, ‘I have never been in such a situation before while batting with the tail. “I am part of the tail, so for me, it was to go out there and have someone to believe in.

“The plan was just to be optimistic. That’s me,” Kemar Roach said. “I was just trying to take every ball. It’s the most important innings ever. I was just trying to pick the distance and work hard.
