Dhaka ടെ Bangladesh fans mock Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi during the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The joke against Afridi came in the name of wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade, who beat Australia in the semi-finals of the Twenty20 World Cup and gave Australia victory and the final berth.
Afridi, who bowled brilliantly in the group matches of the Twenty20 World Cup, was instrumental in Pakistan’s entry into the semi-finals. Afridi’s contribution was crucial, including Pakistan’s first World Cup victory over India.
This was followed by Shaheen Afridi becoming the tragic hero in the semi-final against Australia. Shaheen Afridi’s 19th over was crucial in the match which came to an exciting end. Australia’s Matthew Wade hit a six off the last three balls of the over to give Australia the lead.
In the wake of Matthew Wade’s attack on Shaheen Afridi, Bangladeshi fans mocked Afridi by calling him an Australian. A video has surfaced of a Bangladeshi spectator shouting ‘Shaheen Afridi … Mathew Wade’ in praise of a fielder near the boundary. It also went viral on social media.
