This was done towards the tail-end of the Lahore innings.
The early contributions that Shaheen made with the bat helped propel Lahore towards what ultimately turned out to be the winning score for the match. The Queenslanders were in a state of disarray when As they were reeling from losing four wickets for only 17 runs in the span of three overs, he walked out to the crease with them at 111-4. One of the four players ejected after scoring nine runs was Sam Billings, who batted for both Kent and England.
Nevertheless, Shaheen and Abdullah Shafique proceeded to plunder an amazing 85 runs off the final five overs to take Lahore up to 200. Abdullah Shafique, who anchored the innings superbly with 65 runs off 40 balls, was able to bring Lahore up to 200. This took Lahore’s overall score up to 200, which was the most possible.
Although Mohammad Rizwan (34 off 23), Kieron Pollard (19 off 16), and Tim David (20 off 16) had their moments, a steady stream of wickets made things increasingly difficult for the Sultans.
In reply, Multan relied on Rilee Rossouw’s excellent fifty (52 from 32 balls) to maintain their lead. Although they did have their bright spots, a succession of wickets made progress increasingly difficult. Rashid Khan, a leg-spinner from Afghanistan, made a significant impact by taking two wickets and scoring twenty-six runs.
This was the situation up until Khushdil (25 runs off of 12 balls) and Abbas Afridi (17 not out runs off of 6 balls) smashed fast bowler Haris Rauf for 22 runs in the penultimate over, which resulted in only 13 runs being able to be scored off of the final six balls.
Despite this, Zaman and Lahore were able to keep their cool and win the match for the home team in front of 25,000 cheering supporters.
