The
35-year-old
gave
a
fiery
send-off
to
Lahore’s
number
three
batter
Abdullah
Shafique.
On
the
fourth
delivery
of
the
13th
over,
the
West
Indies
legend
bowled
a
full
length
delivery
outside
the
off
stump
line
as
the
right-hander
smashed
it
straight
into
the
hands
of
the
towering
cricketer.
Just
after
grabbing
the
stunner,
Pollard
pointed
towards
the
pavilion
and
kept
on
staring
aggressively
at
Shafique
who
walked
back
with
his
head
down.
The
23-year-old
scored
48
runs
off
35
balls
and
was
the
second-highest
run-scorer
from
his
side
after
Sam
Billings
(54).
