An Afridi Special
Jun 21, 2010
A new-look Pakistan, led by a new-look Shahid Afridi, bowed out of the Asia Cup with little to boast about but with their reputations enhanced, while Bangladesh ended their campaign by reaffirming the gulf between them and the top-flight teams. Afridi unleashed the kind of fury he is famous for to launch Pakistan to their highest ODI score, and subsequently their first victory in 2010.
This was utterly brutal. Bangladesh didn't even bother chasing the target. The match will be remembered for Afridi's assault. He now owns three of the six fastest ODI centuries. He takes too many risks but when they pay off it's damn fun to watch.
