Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi shine in tense match against Southern Brave

Pakistan's dynamic pace duo, Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi, showcased exceptional bowling prowess for Welsh Fire during their encounter against Southern Brave in the ongoing The Hundred Men's Competition 2023.

Haris exhibited an aggressive and fiery performance right from the beginning of the match as the opponent side struggled from the start during their first innings.

After being asked to bat first, the Southern team set an impressive target of 147 runs on the board despite losing eight wickets during their innings.

In a stunning display of pace bowling, the 29-year-old seamer claimed three vital wickets of Finn Allen (21), George Garton (1), and James Fuller (0), giving away a mere 27 runs in just 20 deliveries.
