Pakistan's Twenty20 International (T20I) skipper Babar Azam lost his cool at hard-hitting batsman Asif Ali, after the latter threw away his wicket in the second T20I against Australia in Canberra on Tuesday.
In a GIF, posted by the Cricket Australia Twitter account, Babar can be seen frustrated after Asif’s dismissal in the 12th over of the Pakistan innings.

The Men in Green were in a desperate need of a solid partnership after they were three down with only 62 runs on the board.
But that did not stop Asif from taking a chance as he miscued a slog sweep off left-arm spinner Ashton Agar and was caught by pacer Pat Cummins at long-on.

Babar, known for his calm demeanour on the field, was seen rather animated as he vent out his anger at the 28-year-old.
Pakistan eventually managed to muster a competitive total of 150-6, after a brisk fifty by middle-order batsman Iftikhar Ahmed.
Australia defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the second T20I to take a one-nil lead in the three-match series. The first T20I in Sydney was washed out due to rain.
