Earlier, Asif Ali hit two sixes one of which was on Ahmad's delivery.

The instance has, however, left netizens speculating what could have happened between the two players.

In a video, which has now gone viral, Ahmed is seen getting aggressive toward Ali first, after which he angrily raises his bat in the air as if trying to hit the Afghan pacer with it.

Soon after, both Afghan and Pakistani players, including Azmatullah Umarzai and Hasan Ali, stepped in to bring an end to the argument.

In the heat of the moment, Afghan player Fazalhaq Farooqi also quipped at Asif as he walked toward the pavilion.

While Pakistan won the match against the Afghan team, many are still discussing that what happened on the field was "unfortunate".
