The T20 World Cup match between Pakistan and Afghanistan was marred by crowd trouble within and outside the Dubai International Stadium.

Multiple incidents were reported on, social media website, Twitter.

Before the game, Afghan leg-spinner Rashid Khan had pleaded with Afghanistan and Pakistan fans to behave when the two neighbours meet in the T20 World Cup on Friday after a match in England two years ago was scarred by fighting and a pitch invasion.

Afghanistan's star spinner Rashid played in that 50-over World Cup game at a packed Headingley in Leeds in 2019.

His side suffered an agonising defeat but the result was overshadowed by violence and scuffles inside and outside the stadium.
