Shaheen Afridi praises Harry Brook after dismissing him

After taking Brook's wicket, Afridi walked over to the England captain, shook hands and lauded his world‑class innings, calling it the best he had seen. He said Brook's century at Pallekele was a captain’s knock that deserved appreciation.

The dismissal came as Pakistan’s T20 World Cup campaign teetered; England’s win sealed a last‑four spot while Pakistan now need results elsewhere to stay alive. Afridi added that he hopes New Zealand lose their match, hoping to keep Pakistan’s semi‑final hopes alive.
