After losing against England in the first warm-up match, Pakistan took on Afghanistan on 19 October 2022 in another warm-up. Ahead of the 20-20 World Cup, it was their last match as they will kick off the World Cup against India on 23 October in Melbourne. However, the match got called off due to rain. But, now a video went viral where former Australian batter, Matthew Hayden was seen.
He is the mentor of the Men in Green for this World Cup. The video went viral as Mohammad Wasim Jr. lost a bet while trying a throwing challenge from Hayden and Naseem Shah. The Pakistan Cricket Board shared the same video with a captain: ”Mohammad Wasim accepts the throwing challenge from Matthew Hayden and Naseem Shah #WeHaveWeWill | #T20WorldCup.”
Here is the shared video:

Both Naseem Shah and Mohammad Wasim Jr. went wicketless in the warm-up game against Afghanistan
Speaking of the video, it seemed to happen before the kick-off of the warm-up game against Afghanistan. Matthew Hayden was seen saying: “100 Dollars to me if he goes over the top of the stadium.” Then, Naseem Shah said: “100 for me.” In reply to that, Hayden said: “I will give 200 Dollars to him. There you go. 100 to him and 100 for you if he goes over the stadium.”
Then, Naseem said that he was with the coach only. Then, Mohammad Waim Jr. threw the ball with full force with the hope to clear the stadium. But, he failed as it landed on the second tier only. Then, Hayden looked happy and said: “See, it’s not about the power, it’s about the brain. No chance!”
After that, Naseem Shah looked happy and said that now, Wasim will pay 100 Dollars to him and 100 Dollars to the coach for failing to clear the stadium. Speaking of the warm-up match, Afghanistan batted first and scored 154 runs for six wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Pakistan came out to bat. But, rain played spoilsport as the match got canceled.
