During the 12th over of Sixers' innings, Henriques played one towards Hasnain but the latter intended to throwback towards Henriques and the face off started.

Hasnain bowled a bouncer which was called wide by the leg-umpire. Hasnain stared back and while he was going back, Henriques was heard saying "Nice throw, mate".

On the following delivery, Henriques pinched one for a single and ran towards Hasnain for a bit of chatter. The spat continued during the 16th over as Hasnain came to bowl his last over of the spell. 

He executed a perfect bouncer on the second ball of the over and Henriques once again uttered "Nice throw, mate".

Meanwhile, Hasnain was highly economical as he conceded only 22 runs in his four-over spell. Sixers posted 197/5 and restricted Thunder to 137/9.
