Coming back to the talk about Pakistan finishing all hopes for India and Afghanistan, scenes were violent on Wednesday when Afghanistan took on Pakistan. Babar Azam's sdie power-hitter Asif Ali almost hit Afghanistan pacer , Fareed Ahmad, with his bat in the penultimate over of the Super 4 match of Asia Cup 2022 in Sharjah yesterday. On the fifth ball of the 19th over in the chase, Asif hit one behind the stumps at fine leg and was caught out. Fareed then celebrated in an animated way right in front of Asif, who in return pushed the bowler back and when countered again by the bowler, Asif almost hit him with the bat before the other Afghanistan fielders came and took Asif away.
