Shaheen Afridi loses his cool after he gets hit for a six

During the second game of the series, pacer Shaheen Afridi lost his cool after Afif Hossain hit him for a six on the first ball he faced. The very next ball, Hossain defended the ball back to Afridi but the left-arm pacer decided to let out his anger as he aimed a throw at stumps. Unfortunately, it hit the batsman flush on the knee.

Afif Hossain immediately went down writing in pain as the throw missed the pad and hit his knee. Shaheen Afridi was quick to come across and apologise to the Bangladesh batsman. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam too rushed in to check on Hossain who seemed to be in a lot of pain.

Afifi Hossain was declared fit to continue batting after receiving treatment from the physio. Afif scored 20 runs in 21 deliveries before being dismissed by leg-spinner Shadab Khan. He was one of the two Bangladeshi batters who managed to cross the 12 run mark in the innings.
