Pak vs Afg: Asif Ali and Fazalhaq Farooqi exchange arguments on field
Afghani and Pakistani spectators also clash with each other after match
Sharjah: Pakistani batter Asif Ali and Afghanistan's fast bowler Farid Ahmad went into a heated argument on the field in the second last over during a match between the two countries on Wednesday.
The incident happened soon after the dismissal of Asif on a delivery made by Farid in the second last over.
The match was played under the Super Four stage match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022.
The two players were involved in an intense exchange which started after Ahmad teased Ali after dismissing him.
During the moment, Afghan player Fazalhaq Farooqi also quipped at Asif as he walked toward the pavilion.
Earlier, Asif Ali hit two sixes one of which was on Ahmad's delivery.
The instance has, however, left netizens speculating what could have happened between the two players.
In a video, which has now gone viral, Ahmed is seen getting aggressive toward Ali first, after which he angrily raises his bat in the air as if trying to hit the Afghan pacer with it.
Soon after, both Afghan and Pakistani players, including Azmatullah Umarzai and Hasan Ali, interfered to bring an end to the argument.
