NEW DELHI: A heated confrontation unfolded between India’s younger opener Abhishek Sharma and Pakistan’s Sufiyan Muqeem throughout a high-intensity conflict between India A and Pakistan A within the Males’s T20 Rising Asia Cup on Saturday in Al Amerat.
Abhishek displayed his aggressive batting expertise, smashing 35 off 22 balls with 5 boundaries and two sixes.
Nevertheless, his explosive innings got here to an finish simply after the powerplay when Muqeem dismissed him.
Trying an attacking shot over the off-side, Abhishek mistimed it, leading to a vanguard.
Qasim Akram took a diving catch to safe Pakistan’s first wicket with India at 68 for one in 6.1 overs.
Muqeem’s “silence gesture” following the dismissal and his send-off didn’t sit effectively with Abhishek, who charged towards the spinner in anger, resulting in a tense alternate on the sector.
WATCH:
On-field umpires Chamara de Zoysa and Rahul Asher needed to intervene to diffuse the scenario and produce calm again to the sport.
