5 performances from associate team players which has made an impact so far

#4 Shapoor Zadran vs Bangladesh

The one performance that stood out in an otherwise average Afghan bowling performance was that of the tall left arm fast bowler, Shapoor Zadran. Shapoor who resembles Mohammed Irfan a bit with his bowling style used his long run up and height to great effect. He bowled well in tandem with his new ball partner Hamid Hassan. His naggingly accurate length troubled the Bangladesh top order to a great effect and he managed to prize out two important wickets without giving much away. His efforts left Bangladesh in a spot of bother before Rahim and Al Hasan rescued them with a good fightback.

Shapoor generated a lot of buzz in the social media after his exploits against Bangladesh. His returned with impressive figures of 7-1-20-2, a miserly economy of just under 3. His all time favourite is Pakistani quick Shoaib Akthar.
