Naseem Shah to help flood victims, will auction ‘winning’ cricket bat
Naseem Shah, who hit two sixes in the final over of last week’s Asia Cup 2022 match against Afghanistan, has decided to auction the bat he used to raise funds for flood victims in Pakistan.
The Asia Cup Super 4 clash between Pakistan and Afghanistan turned out to be one of the most thrilling encounters in the history of the tournament.
After numerous twists, the Babar Azam-led side was finally able to chase down the target of 130 runs in the last over.
With 11 runs needed in six balls and one wicket in hand, Naseem completely turned the tide by smashing two sixes on the first two deliveries of the last over by Fazalhaq Farooqi.
According to NDTV, the bat Naseem struck the two winning sixes with was a gift to him from fellow teammate Mohammad Hasnain.
In a video posted on Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Twitter, Naseem announced that he will be putting the bat up for auction and will be using half of the amount to help the victims of Pakistan floods.
This comes amid ongoing floods in Pakistan in the past month, affecting over 30 million people.
AFP said Friday that villagers in Jaffarabad district of Balochistan were fleeing their homes on Thursday on makeshift rafts made from upturned wooden “charpoy” beds while thousands of temporary campsites have mushroomed on slivers of dry land in the south and west.
The floods have killed nearly 1,400 people, according to the latest National Disaster Management Authority report.
