Shahid Afridi joined an illustrious crowd yesterday.
The Pakistan captain became the 11th player to achieve 300 wickets in One-Day Internationals en route to helping his side complete an important victory over Sri Lanka in their World Cup match at the Premeadasa Stadium.
The leg-spinner reached the milestone when he dismissed his opposite number Kumar Sangakkara and went to finish with four for 34 – a performance after his five-wicket haul against Kenya in Pakistan’s first match.
Afridi is the third Pakistani to top 300 wickets in the 50-over game, following fast bowlers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.
Pakistan made 277 for seven and restricted their opponents to 266 for nine to complete their second successive win.
Afridi’s done it!
