Pakistan needed someone to stick around with Babar after losing three wickets for just 62. But Asif couldn’t resist his temptation and went for a slog sweep off left-arm spinner Ashton Agar in the 12th over. He failed to time the ball properly and was caught at long-on by Pat Cummins.

Seeing the reckless approach, Babar was left visibly frustrated and he ended up venting out his anger on Asif during the field of play.

Here’s the video:

After Asif Ali got out on 4, Iftikhar Ahmed arrived at the crease and scored 62 not out off 34 balls to help Pakistan post 150/6 in 20 overs. Skipper Babar Azam also scored 50 off 38 balls with 6 fours.
