Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi continued his red-hot form from the series against Australia to the ongoing County Championship. The left-arm pacer yet again troubled Marnus Labuschagne

In a County Championship Division two-game between Middlesex and Glamorgan, Afridi yet again got better of Labuschagne, who was dismissed three times by the pacer in the recent Test series between Pakistan and Australia. 

Afridi made his debut for Middlesex on Thursday (21st April). The Pakistan pacer had an impressive outing on Day 1 as he took three wickets and helped his side bundle out the Glamorgan for just 122 runs.

However, the main highlight of his bowling was Labuschagne's wicket, which was also his first scalp in the County Championship. 

Afridi bowled a length delivery with a hint of shape. The batter tried to leave the delivery and in the process got the inside edge due to the extra bounce. The ball crashed into the stumps to remove Labuschagne for just 8 runs. 

Here’s the video: 

After removing the Aussie batter, Afridi on the very next ball dismissed Sam Northeast. Notably, this was overall Labuschange’s sixth dismissal against the Pakistani pacer across all forms of cricket.
