The fans were eagerly waiting for the epic battle between two of the best players of this generation Shaheen Shah Afridi and Marnus Labuschagne ahead of the County Championship match between Middlesex and Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.
And Shaheen who is playing for Middlesex and Marnus who is representing Glamorgan were in the limelight as the young pace sensation managed to get better of the Aussie batter — thrice — in the Pakistan-Australia Test series.
However, venue changed, teams changed but Afridi bowling out Labuschagne remained the same, and left the Aussie batter clueless.
Marnus, while playing at the delivery, looked in two minds about whether to play at it or leave it, and the ball eventually went on to crash on stumps.
Meanwhile, the fans on the microblogging website lauded Shaheen for dismissing the number one Test batter Labuschagne in brilliant.
