In the first test against BAN, Shaheen Afridi can become the first bowler from Pakistan to reach a significant milestone.

Shaheen Afridi, the top speedster in Pakistan, is about to reach a significant bowling milestone. Shaheen, who is well-known for his ability to chat up new balls, needs just nine more wickets to achieve history by being the first Pakistani bowler to reach 100 wickets in an ICC World Test Championship.

Throughout two WTC cycles, Shaheen has participated in 24 Test matches. The left-arm bowler has claimed 91 wickets with a strike rate of 53.1 and an average of 27.23 in 41 innings.

With three fifers and one ten-fer added to his impressive record, he is Pakistan's most successful bowler in WTC history. Naseem Shah, a right-arm seamer with 51 wickets to his name, comes next on the list.

Thus, Shaheen's superior bowling performance in the esteemed competition is demonstrated by the fact that he has 40 wickets more than the next-best bowler.

Most wickets for Pakistan in WTC

Shaheen Afridi- 91 wickets in 24 matches

Naseem Shah- 51 wickets in 17 matches

Yasir Shah- 41 wickets of 13 matches

Noman Ali- 39 wickets of 13 matches

Abrar Ahmed- 38 wickets of 6 matches

Afridi was earlier said to have missed the Bangladesh Tests because of disciplinary problems. He was included in Pakistan's team for the high-voltage home assignment, but the PCB did nothing about it. He will thus be the focal point of the home team's bowling assault during the Test series.

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
