The Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi delivered not just a tense contest but also one of the most entertaining moments of the tournament so far — the on-field banter between Wanindu Hasaranga and Abrar Ahmed.

Sri Lanka, batting first, were restricted to 133/8 in 20 overs, with Shaheen Afridi starring with three wickets, supported by Haris Rauf and Hussain Talat with two each. Abrar bowled brilliantly, conceding just eight runs in his four overs and picking up the key wicket of Hasaranga. The dismissal was followed by a cheeky celebration from Abrar.

But the Sri Lankan all-rounder got his chance to return the favour. When Hasaranga dismissed Saim Ayub, he mimicked Abrar’s earlier celebration, sparking laughter and applause from fans. The cameras later caught Abrar smiling at Hasaranga’s playful response, making it a peak Asia Cup moment.

The back-and-forth between the two has since gone viral, with fans calling it one of the highlights of the tournament.
