Pakistani fans split after Sarfaraz-Shaheen spat

Pakistani cricket fans were divided on Twitter over an on-field brawl between Quetta’s captain Sarfaraz and Lahore’s pacer Shaheen Shah.

The spat took place between the two cricketers when Sarfaraz was hit over the head by a bouncer from Shaheen Afridi.

Sarfaraz said something to the left-arm pacer, who, annoyed, exchanged a few words with him.

Afew fielders of the Qalandars intervened, as did the on-field umpires.

Hafeez took Sarfaraz to the side and calmed him down.

“Sarfaraz probably asking him to take it easy, I mean,” said commentator Ramiz Raja.

Shahid Hashmi was also critical of shaheen, sharing his two cents on the matter.

Shaheen Shah must respect his elders… Sarfaraz is his first captain and misbehaving with him was untoward… have seen players like Zaheer Abbas, Asif Iqbal, Mushtaq Mohammad respecting Intikhab Alam so much….. #harhaalmayrespectelders

The Gladiators beat the Qalandars by 18 runs in match 23 of the Pakistan Super League 6 at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium — and both the teams have maintained their positions in the points table.
