Skipper Shahid Afridi starred with bat and ball as he powered Pakistan to a comprehensive 55-run victory against Bangladesh in his team's opening match of the ICC World T20 in Kolkata on Wednesday.
Afridi's blistering 19-ball 49 helped Pakistan post a commanding total of 201 for five and his two-wicket haul was instrumental in restricting Bangladesh to 146 for six from their 20 overs.
"Boom Boom" Afridi, whose batting form had fallen away in recent months, rose to the occasion after promoting himself to number four in the order.
The skipper smacked four boundaries and four sixes to help Pakistan register their second highest score in T20 internationals. Their highest total is 203 against the same opposition in 2009.
Opting to bat after winning the toss, Pakistani top-order batsmen Ahmed Shehzad (52) and Mohammad Hafeez (64) hit entertaining fifties to stitch a 95-run second wicket partnership and lay a solid foundation for others to build on.
