Leading Edge Episode#6 : "You're a wizard Harry."

"You're a wizard Harry."

This Harry Potter reference is what was used by Shaniera Akram(Wasim Akram's wife) in her tweet to express what we all were feeling about Haris Sohail, after his blistering knock of 89 off just 59 balls against South Africa. This amazing knock propelled Pakistan to victory and helped them gain well-needed momentum before the big clash against the Kiwis.

We also finally got to see a nail-biting contest between the Kiwis and West Indies. This contest not only gave us the best match of the tournament(so far), but also gave us one of the most(or almost) heroic individual performances in World Cup history by Carlos Brathwaite, who has a knack of snatching victories from his opponents(just ask Ben Stokes).

Finally we saw the first Bangladeshi to score a 1000runs in World Cups in Shakib al Hasan, who has once again proven his mettle as not only Bangladesh's greatest but also as one of the top all-rounders the game has produced.

All this and more as Shanawar Burhan, and his guests, Ahmed Rizwan and

Muhammad Owais talk about the rejuvenated tournament.
