Men’s ODI WC: Shaheen Afridi becomes fastest pace bowler to claim 100 ODI wickets

The 23-year-old achieved the feat in 51 matches, breaking Australia’s Mitchell Starc’s previous record of 52 ODIs.

During Pakistan’s ICC World Cup 2023 league match against Bangladesh here at Eden Gardens on Tuesday, left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi became the fastest pace bowler to 100 ODI wickets.

The 23-year-old achieved the feat in 51 matches, breaking Australia’s Mitchell Starc’s previous record of 52 ODIs.

He also became the fastest Pakistani bowler to get 100 ODI wickets, surpassing Saqlain Mushtaq’s record of 53 matches.

With a magnificent in-swinging delivery swinging back on the pads, Afridi trapped Bangladesh’s lead-hand batter Tanzid Hasan in front of the wicket. In the next over, he dismissed Nazmul Hasan Shanto with a ripper from Usma Mir, who fielded at the backward square leg and dived full length to complete the catch.
