Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam and pacer Hassan Ali were involved in a funny incident during the Pakistan Super League match between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United at the National Stadium in Karachi on Thursday.
In a video doing the rounds on social media, Peshawar Zalmi's captain Babar can be seen running behind Ali with his bat indicating he wanted to hit the bowler. Ali hilariously appeared to run away from the batsman leaving the other players in a split.
Coming to the match, Shadab Khan’s Islamabad United beat Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi. Islamabad United won the toss and opted to field. Batting first, Peshawar scored 156/8 in 20 overs with Babar Azam top-scoring with 75 not out.
In reply, Islamabad reached the target in just 14.5 overs, Rahmanullah Gurbaz scoring 62 off 31 balls and Rassie van der Dussen smashing 42 off 29 balls.
