In a strange and one of its kind incident, Afghanistan fans were seen disrupting the chairs from their situation and throwing them randomly at Pakistan fans and a few hitting them on their back.
Cricket matches are often denominated as ‘edge of the seat’ thrillers when they go down to the last over, with both teams having an equal chance of winning. But that is only because the fans get to the edge of their seats in a tense situation, and not to hit the opposition fans with the edge of their seats.
The incident took place after Pakistan defeated Afghanistan in the Super 4 clash on Wednesday at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Shoaib Akhtar condemned the antics of the Afghan fans and tweeted, “This is what Afghan fans are doing. This is what they’ve done in the past multiple times. This is a game and it’s supposed to be played and taken in the right spirit. @ShafiqStanikzai, your crowd & your players both need to learn a few things if you guys want to grow in the sport.

On a serious note, some of these afghan kids really need to learn how to behave. This is an international match not gully cricket. Never happens in any other matches. That’s the reason i really respect the other Cricket Teams
