DUBAI: Australian skipper Aaron Finch praised Pakistan’s pacer Shaheen Afridi and said his team needs to be careful against him in second semi-final of T20 World Cup 2021 on November 11. 

While talking to the media before the all-important knock-out stage of the mega event, Finch said Shaheen is in good form and can be dangerous for them in the match.

“Shaheen is doing well in this tournament. We need to be careful against him and save wickets. He can be dangerous any day,” he said.

The Australian skipper is confident that his team keeps the potential to win in any situation. “Whether we bowl first or bat, we will try to play according to our strength. Our team is good and we can win in any situation,” he added.
