At the end of the third day of play in the third Test in Lahore, Australia opener David Warner and Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi gave the crowd in Lahore something to giggle about. After Warner had struck Afridi for a four off the previous ball, the incident occurred on the final ball of the day.
The third Test of the series between Australia and Pakistan, which is being held in Lahore, is heating up. Australia batted first and they scored 391 runs. Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green, with 91 and 79 runs respectively, were the leading run-scorers. Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi each took four wickets. Pakistan was reduced to 268 runs in response, with Abdullah Shafique leading the way with 81-run innings. Pat Cummins took five wickets for his team.
David Warner and Shaheen Afridi face off in Lahore Test
Warner and Shaheen Shah Afridi are two entertainers who will ensure that the audience has a good time when they are on the field. Warner and Shaheen engaged in a standoff in the ongoing third Test between Pakistan and Australia, and everyone noticed the hilarious side of it.
The incident occurred in Australia’s second innings’ third over, which also happened to be the final ball of the day. Shaheen delivered a short delivery, but Warner comfortably guarded it and saw the ball drop just under his feet. Shaheen charged straight at Warner, and the left-handed batter followed suit. The Australian batter was smiling the entire time, which made Shaheen laugh.

Pat Cummins and Marnus Labuschagne were also seen giggling in the changing area on television. Interestingly, Warner had imitated Labuschagne throughout the incident, yelling “no-run” loudly.
Warner later shared a photo of himself with Afridi on Instagram.
The three-match series is tied at 0-0, with the decider taking place at Lahore’s Gadaffi Stadium.
