WATCH: Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah Breach Babar Azam’s Defence To Bowl Him Out In Nets

New Delhi: After playing a 2-2 draw in the five-match T20I series, Pakistan and New Zealand will now shift their attention to five match ODI series, the first of which will take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Thursday (April 27). After bottling the shortest-format series, the Men in Green would like to return back to winning ways against the second-string Kiwi team which is without the services of regular skipper Kane Williamson and host of other senior players.

While Kane is out injured and is likely to miss the 2023 ODI World Cup, a number of other senior players like Devon Conway, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson among others are playing in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League 2023.

Meanwhile, Pakistani players are all set to face New Zealand once again. A video is going viral all over the internet, where Shaheen Afridi while bowling to Pakistan star batter and opener Babar Azam hits the off stump and Naseem Shah hits the middle stump.

Here is the video:
