Shaheen Afridi has an average economy of 8.59 across 11 innings in T20Is in 2024

Shaheen Afridi’s economy rate in the PAK vs IRE T20 series has sparked concerns ahead of the T20 World Cup scheduled to start in June. Afridi, ranked 14 in the world in the ICC T20 rankings is one of the best bowlers for Pakistan and his dip in form has rather been concerning.

Afridi’s concerning economy rate ahead of T20 World Cup

With the T20 World Cup right ahead, Shaheen Afridi‘s form in the T20s in 2024 has raised some questions. In the entirety of 2024, playing 11 games, Afridi’s economy has breached the 10-mark about 4 times.

Although, in the first PAK vs IRE T20I Afridi scalped only one wicket while conceding 26 runs in 4 overs with an economy of 6.50, his inconsistency is set to pose some struggles for Babar Azam and co. In the second Afridi took three wickets while conceding 49 runs with an economy of 12. 25, his highest registered so far. Earlier he had gone up to 11.70 back in January, thus sparking quite some worries ahead of the squad announcement.
