Morrisville Samp Army's Imad Wasim was seen abusing his teammate Amir Hamza during the team's last-over thriller against UP Nawabs in the Abu Dhabi T10 2024 on Saturday, November 23. The incident took place when the UP Nawabs required eight runs to win from the final two balls.
Hamza was set to bowl to the new batter Odean Smith. The stump microphone captured the Afghan spinner saying he was going to bowl into the stumps. Wasim was unimpressed by the ploy and responded by saying that the ball would clear the ropes if he attacked the stumps.
Wasim was heard saying:
"Tera dimag kharab hai wicket pe, b******d pole pe maar dega."
The Samp Army ultimately eked out a narrow three-run win in the fixture, successfully defending a 101-run target. Amir Hamza was adjudged the Player of the Match for his spell of 2-0-9-2.
