Former T20 World Cup winner Shahid Afridi singled out Asif Ali's performance against India and claimed that he shouldn't have gotten out in a 'foolish' way.

Asif Ali had done all the hard work and managed to smash a couple of boundaries to close down the target. However, with four balls to go and needing only two to win, Asif Ali shifted across his stumps and was caught in front of the wicket.

Speaking about Asif's decision for a single instead of finishing the match with a big shot, Afridi claimed that it was a foolish move.

“The situation should not have come down to Iftikhar [Ahmed]. I don’t know why foolish Asif Ali tried to take a single. He should have smacked the bowler straight down the ground,” said Afridi.

Afridi further added that the Pakistan cricket team showed a lot of character, which made the task of chasing down the target a lot easier.

“Pakistan won because of their self-belief. They were confident about chasing the total down and that’s why they won,” he said.

The Men in Green registered a 5-wicket victory as Mohammad Nawaz delivered a sensational all-round performance.
