Afridi wants Iftikhar to play like Maxwell vs South Africa

Impressed by Glenn Maxwell’s power-hitting show that gave Australia a third win on the trot, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi hailed the Australian swashbuckling allrounder. Afridi also said he is expecting Pakistan’s star batsman Iftikhar Ahmed to play a Maxwell-like innings when the Green Shirts face South Africa in their must-win and crucial encounter against South Africa on Friday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Maxwell produced a blistering 106 off 44 balls and opener David Warner made 104 as Australia racked up 399-8 after electing to bat.
