While Hasan Ali and Haris Rauf have been instrumental for Pakistan, it’s intriguing that Shaheen Shah Afridi, a key component of their bowling arsenal, did not make it to the top wicket-takers’ list. Cricket, with its unpredictability, often offers surprises, and Afridi may yet leave his mark in the remaining matches.
