Cricket is a game of emotion and the game gets more exciting with some exciting on-field heated moments between the players. Do you all remember the Kohli-Konstas shoulder bump in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy? Now, the cricket world is buzzing again after a fiery altercation in the latest ODI between Pakistan and South Africa.

The cricket world was treated to another fiery moment as South African youngster Matthew Breetzke and Shaheen Afridi clashed on the field. Former Kiwi pacer drew comparisons, likening it to the famous shoulder bump incident in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Fiery Moment Between Afridi And Breetzke

As South Africa and Pakistan were facing each other in a must-win game of the ongoing tri-series, the match witnessed a dramatic twist as Shaheen Afridi and Matthew Breetzke got involved in a heated moment. As the drama unfolded in the 28th over, Matthew Breetzke showed his frustration after mishitting a delivery from Shaheen Afridi, swinging his bat in annoyance.

Afridi interpreted the gesture as directed at him and responded with some words of his own. Breetzke also shot back with a retort. The situation intensified when Afridi blocked Breetzke's path as he attempted to take a single, resulting in a collision between the batter and the bowler. This led to another heated exchange.

Former Kiwi Pacer Compared This To Kohli-Konstas Moment

The latest edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy created a different hype After the Kohli-Konstas shoulder-bump moment. Due to this, Virat Kohli was fined 20% of his match fees. As the heated moment between Shaheen Afridi and Matthew Breetzke, former Kiwi pacer Danny Morrison draws parallels to the infamous Kohli-Konstas moment.

“Watch this, the batter does try to get out of the way but the bowler didn't. It's really dumb. That's naughty, given what we saw in Australia recently during a certain Test series. Breetzke was definitely trying to get out of the way. He even turned his back on Shaheen Shah Afridi.” Morrison said.

The ODI match delivered some intense cricket actions to the cricket world as South Africa put on a huge total against the ‘Men in Green’ and they chased down the total with dominance. With Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha’s exceptional centuries, Pakistan registered a dominating 6-wicket victory and set to face New Zealand in the tri-series final.
