Team Pakistan beat arch rivals India in the finals of the tournament to lift the coveted trophy. The tournament was marked by some spectacular performances from the young guns of the Pakistan cricket. While it was Fakhar Zaman with the bat, it surely was Shadab Khan in the spin bowling department. Recently, as per the social media update by renowned Pakistani journalist, Shadab was gifted a car by an Islamabad car dealer for his splendid performances in the tournament.

CT Performances

He had started the tournament on a rather low note against India. He had returned with figures of 1/52 in the match. In the game against South Africa, he was good with the ball and had bagged figures of 0/20 in the limited overs that he had got. In the semis against England, he took the key wicket of Joe Root to set the tone for Pakistan’s dominion in the game.

In the big finals against India, he bagged 2/60 which included the wicket of Yuvraj Singh. He set up the wicket very nicely. He bowled a wrong ‘un first up and then followed it up with a conventional leg spinner to trap the veteran southpaw lbw. He forced his skipper Sarfraz Ahmed to go for the review and the decision turned out to be in his favor.
