Islamabad Beat Karachi, As Amir-Iftikhar, Have A Go At Each Other
The incident happened after the last ball of the 15th over was bowled by Mohammad Amir. It was a full toss on the off-stump and Iftikhar went down on one knee and slapped the ball on the leg-side for a boundary. The shot played by Ahmed added to the frustration of Amir, who was having a bad day with the ball.
Amir began saying something to the batter after the over ended and Iftikhar retaliated with some heated words as well. The whole altercation was getting heated much more when Karachi Kings skipper Imad Wasim came in support of Amir and got into a heated talk with Iftikhar himself. The situation finally cooled down when the umpires Asif Yaqoob and Rashid Riaz intervened and advised the players to maintain the peace.
