SHARJAH: Pakistani batter Asif Ali and Afghanistan's pacer Farid Ahmad had a bitter moment on the field following former's dismissal in the 19th over.
The two cricketers got involved in an intense exchange which began after Ahmad teased Ali when he was dismissed.

The instance has, however, left netizens speculating what could have happened between the two players.
In a video, which has now gone viral, Ali is seen getting aggressive towards the Afghan cricketer, after which he angrily raises his bat in the air as if trying to hit the pacer with it.
Soon after, both Afghan and Pakistani players including Azmatullah Umarzai and Hasan Ali stepped in to bring an end to argument.

While Pakistan has won the match against the Afghan team, many are still discussing that what happened on the field was "unfortunate".

Another user tweeted, "No one would like it the way Farooqi teased Asif Ali and karma paid him instantly."
