The match between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the Super 4 clash of Asia Cup 2022 will go down in history as an instant classic. The match had pretty much everything, drama, action, and there was nearly a bit of violence as well.
Pakistan's Asif Ali was dismissed by Fareed Ahmad with the match stuck in a crunch situation. The Pakistani batter lost his calm and nearly attacked the Afghanistan bowler. First Asif shoved Fareed and later appeared to warn him with the bat.
Emotions ran high and the pair had to be separated before things could have gotten worse. A video of the incident has now gone viral.

Watch Asif Ali loses his calm, almost hits Fareed Ahmad:
Talking about the match, Right-arm pacer Naseem Shah struck two telling sixes in the final over as Pakistan defeated Afghanistan by one wicket in a tense Asia Cup Super 4 match to throw India out of the tournament on Wednesday.
Afghanistan were firmly in control of the match till the last over, reducing Pakistan to 118 for nine. But, Naseem had other plans as he hit Fazalhaq Farooqi for two consecutive sixes to send both Afghanistan and India out of reckoning for a final berth.
With two wins from as many games, both Pakistan and Sri Lanka have sealed their places in the final of the tournament to be held on Sunday.
