The man at the covers grabbed an easy catch. But the pacer was extremely happy to get the wicket in the over after the England batter nailed him for two sixes at the start of the over.

Overcome with adrenaline and excitement, Ubaid spun around and leaped in triumph to accidentally slap the batter on the head with an open palm. The latter was rushing to the pacer to congratulate him.

Usman Khan was wearing a cap and not a helmet due to keeping wickets against the pacer. He looked at him in serious pain and momentarily dazed, prompting immediate concern from the home camp. Fortunately, the quick medical check-up confirmed that he could continue, and his reassuring thumbs-up soon put everyone at ease.

The video of the PSL incident caused by the burning fire on social media quickly became one of the most interesting topics of the tournament.

After a solid opening partnership of 89 runs in the eighth over, it was vital for the number three batter to continue the same momentum. Usman Khan didn’t disappoint in that situation.

The right-handed batter drilled 32 runs in 17 balls, shouldering on five boundaries and one six at a strike rate of 162.50. It was a 70-run partnership in 38 deliveries for the second wicket between Usman and Yasir Khan, who ended with 87 runs in 44 deliveries at a strike rate of nearly 200.

Ubaid picked up a wicket on the last ball of the opening over. The dangerous-looking Fakhar Zaman heaved into the leg-side and got the height rather than distance as the ball went up in the air. Joshua Little grabbed a fine catch at the deep square leg region.
