During the 12th match of the ongoing 2023 Pakistan Super League (PSL) between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United, a hilarious moment transpired in the middle of the pitch that left onlookers with bright smiles on their faces. The incident transpired on the last ball of the 14th over delivered by Islamabad United's pacer Hasan Ali.
Ali delivered the ball to Peshawar Zalmi's skipper Babar Azam and then slipped and fell on the ground. Babar, who stroked the ball towards mid-on scampered for a single only to see Hasan sitting in his way. Babar raised his bat and threatened to hit Hasan, who ran away from the firing line with a smile on his face.
