Leading Pakistan as captain, Abbas pulled off the incredible feat against Kuwait, taking just 12 balls to hammer an unbeaten 55 runs. His fiery innings included eight sixes and helped Pakistan chase down the 124-run target in spectacular fashion.
Pakistan kicked off their Super Sixes campaign with a four-wicket win over Kuwait, setting the tone early. The next clash, against India, didn’t go quite as planned, rain played spoilsport, and under the Duckworth-Lewis method, India edged the game by just two runs.
Abbas Afridi, who made his international debut against New Zealand in January 2024, seems to be carrying his aggressive streak into every format he plays.
In the tournament’s second quarterfinal, Pakistan outplayed South Africa by five wickets to book their spot in the semifinals.
From debuting on the international stage to hitting six consecutive sixes as captain, Abbas Afridi is quickly proving that Pakistan cricket has found its next big power hitter.
