Pakistan has found a future star in Shaheen Afridi. He was absolutely brilliant in this tournament as he picked up 16 wickets in just five games. He was the second highest wicket-taker for Pakistan after Mohammad Amir. He was a perfect replacement for the struggling Hasan Ali. The 19-year-old left-arm pacer picked up wickets when it mattered the most.

Against New Zealand, in a must-win game, he bowled a fabulous opening spell to get rid of Munro, Latham, and Taylor. He was equally effective against Afghanistan as he picked four wickets for 47 runs. Shaheen Afridi ran through the Bangladesh batting line-up as he picked up six for 35 and showed all his variations. He has most of the variations which a fast bowler should have. He bowls quick, swings the ball upfront and can bowl the slower one as well. He is still very young and has a bright future ahead for Pakistan.
