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.

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