Four wickets in four balls, a six-for and a place in Hampshire History. Pakistan ODI skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi delivered a spell for the ages during the 2020 T20 Blast.
Pakistan’s left-arm pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi produced one of the most remarkable bowling performances in English T20 history during his stint with the Club in 2020.
The paceman etched his name into Hampshire folklore with an extraordinary spell of 6/19 against Middlesex at Utilita Bowl on 20 September 2020, becoming the first Hampshire bowler to claim six wickets in a T20 innings, with figures that remain the Club’s best in the format.
What made the performance even more remarkable was his incredible feat of taking four wickets in four consecutive balls, a first in English T20 cricket.
Remarkably, all six of Afridi’s wickets were toe crushing bowled dismissals, a testament to his devastating accuracy and raw pace.
His figures surpassed Hampshire’s previous T20 best of 5/14, by Dimitri Mascarenhas against Sussex in 2004.
Since then, Afridi has remained a vital cog in Pakistan’s limited-overs side. Appointed ODI captain in 2025, he recently led Pakistan to tri-series glory against England and Sri Lanka.
Having made history at Utilita Bowl, Afridi would now return to the same ground as Pakistan captain when England Men face Pakistan on Saturday 15 May 2027.
