Shaheen Shah Afridi picked 2 wickets for 88 runs in first Test vs BAN

Shaheen bowled 33 overs in the first innings and picked up 2 wickets by giving away 88 runs. Naseem Shah picked up 3 wickets after bowling 27.3 overs. Khurram Shahzad picked up 2 wickets after bowling 29 overs. Mohammad Ali scalped 2 wickets after bowling 1 over. Saim Ayub managed to scalp a wicket in his 7 over spell. It was a tough outing for the Pakistan bowlers on a seemingly docile wicket.
