PAK vs AFG: 10 Best Memes On Asif Ali And Fareed Malik Bollywood Style Fight

Last updated:

The Asia Cup 2022 has produced another last-over finish when on Wednesday Pakistan defeated Afghanistan in Dubai with only one wicket left. In fact, all the four Super 4 round matches have gone till the last over.

And now we have our finalists: Pakistan and Sri Lanka, both have won two matches each – over India and Afghanistan – both of whom now have been eliminated from the race for the final.

As the Pakistan-Afghanistan came got close and the latter held a strong position, tempers flared up and this caused a serious physical altercation between Pakistan batsman Asif Ali and Afghanistan pacer Fareed Malik.

Asif Ali could get a ban after his gesture to hit Fareed Malik

Like he did against India, Asif Ali was taking the game away from the opposition having clattered a couple of big sixes. On the 4th ball of the 19th over, bowled by Fareed Malik, Asif smokes a six-over cow corner to bring Pakistan back on top.

But the bowler, Malik, had the last laugh over Asif as on the very next ball, Fareed bowled a bouncer which hurried onto Asif who mistimed his pull shot and was caught by Karim Janat at fine leg. The Afghanistan players and their supporters erupted in joy. Amid this a wild scene ensued between Asif and Fareed.

After Janat completed the catch, Fareed went in the face of Asif and screamed and fist-pumped in the air. Unhappily, Asif shoved Fareed a bit away and began to turn when the bowler retaliated with plenty more words.

That enraged Asif further and he turned back sharply with his bat up, almost as if he was going to hit Fareed with his willow. Unflustered with Asif’s action, though, Fareed further moved into the batter and gave him a shoulder bump.

Thankfully, before things could get even worse, fielder Azmatullah Omarzai ran in between the two hot-headed players and separated them, but both Asif and Fareed continued with verbal volleys before other players and the umpires intervened to calm them down. Phew – that was some almost WWE battle there.

The match referee is expected to make sanctions against the two players; maybe Asif could face a match ban. A one-match ban for Asif won’t hurt Pakistan in their next game, which is against Sri Lanka as they have now qualified for the final. But, nonetheless, such behaviours have no place in Cricket.
