The incident took place during the 4th match of Asia Cup 2010 on 19th June 2010 at Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, between Shoaib Akhtar and Harbhajan Singh. Batting first, Pakistan had set a target of 268 runs for India. India needed 16 runs to win off the last two overs with Suresh Raina and Harbhajan at the crease.

The Rawalpindi Express, Shoaib Akhtar bowled the penultimate over, where Suresh Raina scored a Six off the first ball. Harbhajan too tried playing a pull shot off the last ball but failed to connect. Akhtar immediately went to Harbhajan and the two exchanged a few heated words that led to an ugly fight. When the play resumed, Raina was dismissed by Mohammad Aamir in the final over and the onus was then on Harbhajan Singh.

When India needed three runs off the final two balls, Harbhajan held his nerve and hammered the fifth ball over midwicket for a six to win the game for India.
