Naseem Shah achieved a remarkable milestone for Pakistan in One Day Internationals (ODIs) during the Super 4 match against Bangladesh in Lahore.

In a remarkable display of skill, Naseem made a significant impact by dismissing the in-form Mehidy Hasan Miraz with his very first ball of the game, sending him back to the pavilion without scoring a run.

Despite facing a shoulder injury scare earlier in the match, Naseem exhibited great resilience and determination. He returned to the field and demonstrated his prowess as a bowler by taking the last two wickets of the Bangladesh team, ultimately restricting them to a total of 193 runs.

This exceptional performance by Naseem Shah marked a historic achievement in his ODI career. With his three wickets in this match, he became the first Pakistani bowler ever to secure a wicket in each of his first 13 ODIs.

Naseem also etched his name in the record books as the bowler with the most wickets, a total of 32, in his first 13 ODIs while representing the Green Shirts. He surpassed the previous record held by Abdul Qadir, who managed to claim 27 wickets in his initial 13 ODIs.
