Unstoppable Shahid Afridi says he had license to fire vs Bangladesh; India take on Afghanistan today.

His blistering 25-ball 59 helped Pakistan beat Bangladesh by three wickets and reach the finals of the Asia Cup and Shahid Afridi today said he was always confident of scoring the required runs as the situation gave him the license to play shots.

Afridi blasted seven sixes and two fours to turn the game on its head after Pakistan were 225-5 in 41.2 overs, chasing Bangladesh's record score of 326.

Meanwhile, India would look to sign off their disastrous Asia Cup campaign on a positive note when they take on spirited debutantes Afghanistan in their last round-robin league match on Wednesday.
