Pakistan batting great Javed Miandad has pitched in his thought about Naseem Shah’s heroics against Afghanistan in their Super Four clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday.
Naseem, on Wednesday, stunned the whole world with his sensational performance with the bat, as he smashed two maximums off Fazalhaq Farooqi’s last over to guide Pakistan to victory at the Dubai International Stadium.
Meanwhile, Javed, who is renowned for striking a famous last-ball six against India in Sharjah in 1986 when six runs were required off the last ball, reflected on Naseem’s two sixes that led Pakistan to the final.
“The important thing was that he [Naseem] read the situation very well and bravely planned and finished. I planned [recalling his historic six against India in 1986] the same as he did. But, what Naseem did is laudable.
“He was so focused on the situation and prepared to hit, which is why he delivered.”
The former cricketer also heaped praise on the Pakistan team for beating Afghanistan and qualifying for the final.
Pakistan will take on Sri Lanka in their last Super Four clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday.
