Did Moeen Ali’s wicket leave Warner Angry?
While the real reason why Warner was upset with Moeen Ali remains unknown, it could be because of his wicket at a critical moment of the game. Karachi Kings needed five runs to win in the final over, but they lost Moeen Ali for five runs on the first ball, triggering panic in the Karachi camp. Moeen missed a slot ball and was dismissed LBW. However, Abbas Afridi, who hit a six against Lahore Qalandars to win the game for the Kings, repeated the feat and hit a first-ball six to seal the game.
