Pakistan's Mohammad Nawaz involved in physical confrontation in BPL match; clashes with Bangladesh pacer - Watch now

During the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match between Sylhet Strikers and Khulna Tigers, an intense physical altercation erupted between Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz and Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib. The incident occurred after Tanzim Hasan Sakib dismissed Mohammad Nawaz in the 17th over of the innings. The heated exchange quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, with both players exchanging blows before being separated by teammates and officials. The altercation marred what was otherwise an exciting match between the two teams.

Nawaz was dismissed after he failed to read the slower ball bowled by Tanzim. As a result, he only managed to chip the ball in the air towards third man. Zakir Hasan had no problem in completing the simple catch.

After dismissing Nawaz, Tanzim was seen giving a send-off to the left-handed batter. The two then barged shoulders with each other as tempers flared in the middle.

Nawaz was seen charging back towards the Bangladesh pacer, and it was then that the umpires and other players stepped in to prevent the situation from escalating further.
