4. Asghar Afghan vs Hasan Ali in 2018
In the 2018 Pakistan versus Afghanistan game in the Asia Cup, Hasan Ali had a faceoff with Afghanistan captain Asghar Afghan as well. After the fall of three wickets, Asghar stepped up and took the Pakistan bowling unit to the cleaners with his teammate Shahidi.
Asghar, who was also the skipper of Afghanistan, played attacking cricket to stabilize Afghanistan's innings. However, Hasan Ali, who strived to intimidate Shahidi in the 33rd over, received a fierce reaction from Asghar. After four overs of Hasan’s incident with Shahidi, Asghar brushed his shoulder with the Pakistan pacer while stealing a run.
Following the match, Asghar paid 15% of his match fees for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct. Along with him, the Pakistan speedster also paid a similar amount for breaching the code of conduct.
