Re: Shoaib Akhar in action against BD on Sunday
In "Afro-Asian Cup, 2005, 1st Match", playing for Asian XI, Shoaib (2 for 40 in 7.3 overs) helped his team to restrict African XI to 198 in 44.3 overs.
Once again his efforts were denied by the failure of top order batsmen.
Akhter tried to play his role in batting by scoring 15 runs off 13 balls. Asian XI were all out for 196 in 48.1 overs and lost this match by 2 runs. In same game, Youhana and Inzamam managed a combined score of 7.
