Shaheen Afridi surpasses Akhtar, becomes fastest Pak pacer to reach ODI milestone

Shaheen Shah Afridi has established himself as the quickest fast bowler from Pakistan to reach 150 wickets in one-day internationals. He achieved this milestone during the fourth match of a tri-series against England by removing Tom Banton in his opening over.

This accomplishment required 80 appearances, placing him behind only Saqlain Mushtaq among all Pakistani bowlers and level with Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami on the global list. Following this achievement, he also dismissed Joe Root during the contest at the Gaddafi Stadium.

The match represents a key fixture in the Lahore leg of the tournament, with England seeking to recover from previous losses to Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
