Shafiq could not score a single run in 6 balls
The second match of the ongoing Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh (PAK vs BAN) is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. In this match today, on 31 August, in the very first over of the second day of the game, star Bangladeshi bowler Taskin Ahmed bowled out Pakistani opener Abdullah Shafiq and sent him to the pavilion.
Taskin beat Shafique on the first five balls of the over, but he bowled an inswing on the last ball of the over. Shafique could not judge this ball properly and he went to play the ball thinking it to be outswing, but the ball went between the bat and the pad and hit the wicket directly and his stumps were scattered. Shafique was out in 6 balls without scoring any run.
See how Taskin Ahmed got Abdullah Shafiq out
