Pakistani cricketer Asif Ali almost emulated legend Javed Miandad and came very close to hitting Afghanistani bowler Fareed Ahmed during their tense clash in the Asia Cup 2022 which went right down to the wire and saw the Men in Green qualifying for the finals against Sri Lanka after winning by just 1 wicket.
The match saw some tense moments in the final overs as in the 19th over’s 5th ball, Fareed Ahmed had Asif Ali caught at short fine leg by Karim Janat. This came after Ali had hit Fareed for a six and as a result, the bowler gave Asif a mouthful of send-off with the choicest of words.
This sent Asif Ali into a rage as he tried to punch Fareed and also threatened to hit Fareed with the bat, emulating Javed Miandad who had similarly almost hit Dennis Lillee with the bat during a Test match as well.
