A fist-fight was witnessed during the final of the MCC Weekdays Bash XIX, after the Rabdan Cricket Club batsman Kashif Muhammad was given a nasty send-off by Aerovisa Cricket bowler Nasir Ali.
In a video of the incident going viral on social media, a fired-up Ali could be seen celebrating and saying a few words right in Kashif’s face. At first the batsman ignored, but when Ali continued his verbal volleys, Kashif turned back to respond.
The verbal duel soon turned into a physical altercation, as Kashif’s batting partner, Aerovisa players and the umpires tried to separate the two.

Ali could be seen in the video grabbing Kashif’s bat and trying to hit him. After the bat fell off his hand, Kashif picked it up and attempted to hit Ali back as the other players on the field struggled to control the duo.
