Pakistan young batsman, Abdullah Shafique, became the first batsman in T20Is to score four ducks in a row on Sunday in Sharjah.

Shafique was trapped lbw by Fazalhaq Farooqui on the very first ball of his inning against Afghanistan. He reviewed the out decision by umpire, but the ball was hitting the stumps and was dismissed for a nought.

Earlier in the first match of the series, Shafique was also dismissed via lbw decision for a second-ball duck.

Shafique made a comeback into the T20I side through his performances in the recently-concluded Pakistan Super League season eight.

Shafique had played three T20Is for Pakistan before this series and was dismissed for a duck in his last two T20I innings against New Zealand in 2020 as well.
