The Match 4 in the super four stage of the ongoing Asia Cup was the most thrilling game of the tournament. The game held tremendous importance for both Afghanistan and India as Pakistan’s victory in the match would’ve shut the doors of the final for both teams.
Chasing 130 to win, Pakistan had a dramatic collapse from 87/3 to 118/9. With 11 needed off the final over, everyone was backing Afghanistan to cause a major upset and keep the tournament alive. However, Naseem Shah had other plans as he smashed consecutive sixes off the first two balls and won the game for Pakistan. There was an incident between Asif Ali and Fareed Ahmed where the two got involved in a physical altercation at the pitch.
The soaring temperatures at the pitch seemed to have gone into the minds of the fans in the stadium as well as they began fighting among themselves after the match. The video of the incident went viral after the match where the fans could be seen breaking the seats and hurling them at each other.
