Shane Watson on the 99m six by Fakhar Zaman “there’s not too many batters in the world who can do this to that ball. That’s why you’ve got to keep the faith with someone like this guy. That’s the stuff he can do & that’s what makes people turn the tv on to watch” #CWC23 #PAKvsBAN pic.twitter.com/MPbKMiCWeh
