Pakistan National Cricket Team pacer Naseem Shah has looked threatening with the ball in the ongoing match against the New Zealand National Cricket Team. The first match of the ICC Champions Trophy is taking place at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Pakistan National Cricket Team won the Toss and opted to field first. After a fiery start by the New Zealand National Cricket Team, the hosts made a strong comeback, and one of the major reasons behind that has been the right-arm pacer, Naseem Shah.
After Abrar Ahmed provided his team with the initial breakthrough of Devon Conway, Naseem Shah backed it up beautifully with the wicket of Kane Williamson. The pacer produced a peach and found the outside edge of the batter on a pitch, which looked very good for batting.

Since removing Kane Williamson, Naseem Shah has looked unplayable as he has troubled New Zealand batters, in particular, Daryl Mitchell. The fast bowler also had a go at the right-hander when he arrived at the crease and the moment went viral.
It happened during the second ball of the 9th over when Naseem Shah bowled a 137.3 kmph delivery that was full and shaped away after pitching. Daryl Mitchell came forward to negate the swing and played a drive back to the bowler.
However, this didn’t amaze Naseem Shah as he charged at the batter, and this also involved the crowd. The pacer had his tail up and the fans were upbeat with every ball when the bowler was running in and was against Daryl Mitchell.
