Asia Cup 2018 Super 4s: 3 unnoticed things from the India-Afghanistan match

#2 Mohammad Shahzad’s Spin woes

Shahzad cracked an excellent century against India

Mohammad Shahzad’s century against India was his first against a major cricketing nation. His knock included 11 4’s and seven maximums. At one stage of the game, Shahzad almost scored 80% of the team runs. His blistering knock earned him the Man-of-the-Match award.

Currently, he is the third leading scorer in the tournament. However, his woes against the spin bowling continued against India. In all the five games, Shahzad was dismissed by the spinners.

Akila Dananjaya (Sri Lanka), Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh), Mohammad Nawaz (Pakistan), Mahmudullah (Bangladesh) and Kedar Jadhav (India) were the spin bowlers who dismissed Shahzad in the entire tournament.
