Pakistan hard-hitting batsman Asif Ali could find himself in hot water after he swung his bat in anger towards West Indies pacer Keemo Paul, who dismissed him for 3 runs in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match between Jamaica Tallawahs and Guyana Amazon Warriors on Tuesday.

The Faisalabad-born batsman, who is representing the Tallawahs in his first season of CPL, can face disciplinary action for his reaction to Paul’s send-off after the former was caught at long-on by Warrior’s captain Chris Green.

Despite Asif’s early departure, Tallawahs went on to win the match by five wickets, chasing 109 with two overs to spare.

After an impressive start with an unbeaten 47-run knock, Asif has failed to get going in the tournament, as he has amassed only 41 runs in the next four innings.
