WATCH: Naseem Shah's ground-breaking sixes that took Pakistan to Asia Cup final

When Asif Ali left the field in the 19th over courtesy of a brilliant catch by Karim Jannat at the short fine-leg, the hopes of Pakistan winning the game had also been tarnished but the 19-year-old Naseem Shah had other plans.

The fourth game of the Super Four Asia Cup was a nail-biter for either side. Every ball was unexpected and every over left the match in favor of a different team.

Afghanistan, for the very first time was about to pull off a great victory in their cricket history against Pakistan but Naseem Shah did the unexpected.

With 11 runs remaining and only one wicket to spare, Naseem was facing one of the star bowlers of Afghanistan, Fazalhaq Farooqi. He hit two back-to-back sixes and cleared the path to final for Pakistan, reminding sixes of Javed Miandad and Shahid Afridi against India from the past.
