Shaheen, who threw three overs for the first time in powerplay, gave Pakistan a great start by taking two wickets in the first two overs.

He said at the post-game press conference: “I threw three overs in the power game for the first time. The ball was spinning and the conditions helped. I tried to take early terrain and I made it.
