Pakistan spinner Abrar played a big role in his team’s win over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup Super Four stage. His bowling spell not only restricted runs but also created moments of drama that became a talking point after the match.
During the game, Abrar dismissed Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga with a clever delivery. Soon after, he celebrated by copying Hasaranga’s trademark send-off gesture. The crowd reacted loudly, and the scene quickly caught attention on social media.
Hasaranga responded later when he claimed a wicket. He repeated the same gesture aimed at Abrar, which added extra heat to the contest. Both players eventually came face to face, but the tension ended with a handshake and smiles, showing mutual respect.
Beyond the entertainment, Abrar’s bowling made a real difference. He kept things tight in the middle overs and forced batsmen to take risks. His control of line and length helped Pakistan stay ahead in the game. For his side, it was another reminder of why Abrar is considered one of the most reliable spinners in the squad.
This is not the first time the leg-spinner has stood out in major tournaments. His variations and ability to surprise batsmen make him a key weapon. In pressure games like the Asia Cup, having a bowler who can break partnerships is vital.
Pakistan’s win has kept them in contention for the final. The focus now shifts to their next Super Four match, where Abrar could again play a crucial role. With his form and confidence growing, he remains central to Pakistan’s hopes in the tournament.
