Team Pakistan’s performance in cricket is always a source of great stress for its fans. In the on-going World Cup the boys have taken fans on a roller coaster of emotions with their fluctuating, unpredictable performance. However, the current match with New Zealand is bringing up hopes because the bowling side has displayed a fantastic performance so far.
In the match against New Zealand, Shaheen Afridi has quite literally obliterated the New Zealand batting order
The 19 year old pacer has taken out 3 New Zealander players in the extended bowling spell of 7 overs. Fans are blown away by his fantastic performance.

So many are making jokes about how the unexpected extra overs by Shaheen led to shocking New Zealand because they weren’t prepared for his severe attack

There has also been a joke that Wasim Akram takes credit for giving players “a talk” every time they perform well on the field but people noticed that it actually happened today
