Massive fight between Asif Ali and Fareed Ahmad

When Pakistan’s Asif Ali lost his cool and violently brandished his bat at Afghanistan pacer Fareed Ahmad in the 19th over, tensions between the neighbours reached a boiling point. Fareed had two hits in the over, including the crucial dismissal of Asif, a powerful hitter.

The batsman, who smacked two sixes in a quick 16 off eight balls, was caught at short fine-leg while attempting to hook a bouncer, and as he was leaving the field, he got into an argument with Fareed.

Before the players and the umpire intervened to diffuse the situation, an irate Asif pointed his bat in the direction of Fareed.

It occurred in the heat of the moment says Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan, the vice-captain of Pakistan and the team’s leading scorer with 36 runs, downplayed the incident by claiming it occurred in the heat of the moment and was best left on the field.

Mohammad Nabi, the Afghanistan captain, was fielding in the deep and stated he had no idea what had happened in the middle.

Furious Afghan fans hit Pakistani fans

With the victory, Pakistan guaranteed their place in the Asia Cup final versus Sri Lanka while Afghanistan and India were eliminated. Shadab Khan, Naseem’s vice captain, praised him for his valour in the last over.

Shadab, who also bowled figures of 1-27 and was chosen man of the match, remarked of Naseem’s heroics, “Those sixes will always be remembered.”

Pak management encouraged their bowlers to bat a little bit since no one knows what will happen during a game. Pak bowlers are talented enough to win games with the bat as well.

Nabi insisted that Afghanistan is the strongest T20 team after the defeat

Nabi, whose team opened the competition with two resounding victories over Test countries Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, claimed that his team “played terrific cricket from the outset and gave our 100 percent.”

They have the finest team in T20. They will work to develop it day by day as it is still a fledgling side. With one game left, their tournament was fantastic.

Thursday in Dubai has a dead rubber match between India and Afghanistan, and Friday in Dubai features a semifinal preview between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
