On the third ball, Naseem Shah struck Asif again with a single. Asif took control of the match with a six off the fourth ball of the 19th over. However, Asif, who scored 16 runs, was caught out at short fine leg on the very next ball of Fareed Ahmed and had to return to the pavilion.

At the crucial moment of the match, the Afghan pacer took the wicket and fist-bumped Asif right in front of him after hitting a six. The celebration of the opposing bowler after his dismissal added salt to Asif’s wounds. At this time, Asif pushed Fareed away.
The Afghan pacer also reacted to this. Asif’s anger increased, he wanted to beat Fareed by raising the bat. After a few more seconds of heated exchange, Afghan players came to separate the two. Back again Asif said something after that and took the way to the dressing room.
Supporters of Pakistan-Afghanistan are excited due to this incident. The former cricketers and board officials of the two countries are not far behind. Afghanistan Cricket Board’s former chief executive Shafiq Stanikzai is demanding that Asif be banned for the rest of the Asia Cup.

Posting the video of the Asif-Fareed moment on Twitter, Stanikzai wrote, “This is utter stupidity by Asif Ali and he should be banned from the rest of the tournament. Any bowler has the right to celebrate but physical aggression is not acceptable at all.”
Despite Asif leaving the field, 21-year-old Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah’s devastating batting allowed Pakistan to reach the goal of victory with 4 balls in hand. Their opponent in the final in Sri Lanka.
