As Ian Pont mentioned during an exclusive interview with Saj, pace is not a concern; if he loses swing, that's concerning, and now it's happening.

Wasim Akram comments on Shaheen Shah Afridi's struggle in the death overs, he said:
"Shaheen is very experienced as a bowler; he is also the captain of our national team and now his is playing regularly for Pakistan, he attempted to bowl a length ball perhaps with the idea that it might go in cross. However, that's his comfort zone go fuller on length u might get hit a boundary on edge but go for it that's your strength,"
"I am sure this must be a learning curve for Shaheen as a bowler because throughout this PSL he struggled to defend well. In his initial bowling spell tonight he gave away four runs on the leg side while trying bowl fuller then he bowled fuller on the off side and conceded a boundary. Shaheen needs to learn quickly that everyone knows he will bowl 2 or 3 deliveries on a fuller length to attempt yorkers,"
"If you look at Shaheen's death overs stats during the 16th to 20th over his bowling economy is around 11. This means that when he comes to bowl his last 2 overs he gives at least 11 runs per over. I think he has bowled 13 overs and given away 148 runs so far, it's not a worrying sign for a bowler however he should be looking into how he can improve,"
"I believe it's time for Shaheen to learn the back-of-the-hand delivery."

The beauty of a delivery. Worst nightmare for any debutant to face this kind of delivery first up.
Stunning ball.
Gotta feel bad for Tim Robinson. Imagine that it’s your debut game and the whole day it’s been raining on and off. Finally it’s decided there will be 5 overs of play and you’re exited for your opportunity. Then in the second ball you get hit with this beauty, lose your wicket, and then the rain starts pouring down immediately and the game ends.

Shaheen Afridi has achieved a remarkable milestone in T20 cricket, claiming the record for the most first-over wickets in the format.
Afridi achieved this feat during the first match of the T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand in Rawalpindi, when he dismissed Tim Robinson in the opening over of the series opener.
Afridi's tally of 47 first-over wickets puts him at the top of the list, surpassing other notable bowlers in the process. He leads the pack with 47 wickets, followed closely by India's Bhuvneshwar Kumar with 46 wickets. Pakistan's Mohammad Amir is third on the list with 43 wickets, while England's David Willey rounds out the top four with 42 first-over wickets.

I have never seen any bowler use the first over ball as effectively as Shaheen does... he makes the ball speak early on but he really needs to improve his death bowling capabilities. Fix the grammar.

Shaheen's addiction and over reliance on that full blooded inswinger only works on C-D level batsmen or Minnows.
Rohit, Gill, Kohli after facing him in 1-2 innings have not only gotten on top of that delivery but have smashed Shaheen all over the park.
Unless Shaheen develops a consistent outswinger which he can mix up and control at will consistently, his returns will be less than Bhumra.

Doesn't change the fact that he is slow.
Quality players like Rohit will throw his slow swing balls to galaxy.
Lucky wicket and against a New Zealand B team. Will get carted in world t20 and will be the end of him. He’s become a chaminda Vaas at best.
Will hover around 128 kph for rest of his career with odd delivery exceeding 130.

The trademark yorker of our very own Shaheen Shah Afridi makes him the top wicket-taker for Pakistan in the 2nd T20I against New Zealand, with figures of 3/13 in 3.1 overs.

Shaheen and Amir are the best in the business that we have for swing bowling.

He might not be the best one out there but he is gradually moving towards the top.

His impressive performance in the ongoing home series against New Zealand, where he is the leading wicket-taker after the first three matches, has propelled him up two places to 17th in the overall T20I bowlers’ rankings.

They can't win the match without Shaheen, that's why they included him in the playing XI for the 5th T20I against New Zealand

What a match winning spell by SSA. Superb!
This spell will be known as the spell that saved Babar the captain.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam speaking about Shaheen Afridi and rotation policy in post-series presser:
“I had said before that Shaheen Shah Afridi is the best bowler and he knows how to make a comeback. Bad days do come, but he is mentally strong and whatever he does with dedication is evident to everyone. He is a fighter, and the way he has made a comeback and given us wickets at crucial times, I, as a captain, am happy with such performances. Unfortunately, you have seen that Mohammad Rizwan has become unfit. Our plan was to rotate, but we know that we are struggling in the middle overs. You have seen that we have sometimes sent Shadab Khan up the order, and sometimes Iftikhar Ahmed, we have given Usman Khan a proper opportunity to consolidate. However, our main concern is the middle order. We have made changes up and will keep on doing”
