LEEDS: On Wednesday here at Headingley, it was Imad Wasim’s turn to wear the cape of a superhero.
Pakistan were looking in clear and present danger when skipper Sarfraz Ahmed departed after a suicidal attempt for a double. Pakistan were six down and still needed 72 more on a tricky wicket against a dangerous spin attack.
Imad, who had taken two wickets to help Pakistan restrict Afghanistan to 227-9, played perhaps the most important innings of his career – an unbeaten 49 from 54 balls to help Pakistan survive in the do-or-die match.
“I was disappointed at myself previously for not helping the team finish games but thankfully I managed to do it today,” Imad said after Pakistan’s three-wicket win.
