#4 Shoaib Malik's Heroic Performance

Shoaib Malik took Pakistan to victory vs. Afghanistan

Pakistan had just managed to sneak into the Super Four stages after dominating Hong Kong and thrashed by India. Against Afghanistan, the mercurial side looked to bounce back and regain form.

Mohammad Nawaz picked up three quick wickets, but from then on the match was dominated by Hashmatullah Shahidi and captain Asghar Afghan. Shahidi kept runs ticking while Afghan played aggressor, smashing 5 sixes in an exhilarating innings.

Given 258 to chase, Pakistan had the daunting challenge of facing Afghanistan's lethal spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi.

Fakhar fell early, Imam ul-Haq and Babar Azam steadied the ship for a while. But when they fell along with captain Sarfraz Ahmed, the task of bringing home the victory went to the experienced Shoaib Malik, playing his 269th ODI for the greens.

He kept the runs flowing and managed the spinners well, hitting crucial boundaries and keeping Pakistan's hopes alive. With 10 required off 6, Malik went to work, hitting a 6 followed by a 4 to take Pakistan to victory.
