While Hetmyer was on the strike facing Bravo’s fourth ball of the 13th over, he pushed the ball uppishly to the right of Hafeez. Bravo dived to stop the ball but ended up bumping into Hafeez as the batsmen tried to sneak a single. Bravo went down in pain as Hafeez apologized to him. However, funny scenes followed this as Hetmyer hilariously enacted hitting Bravo with the bat in the middle of the single. After finishing the single, both the batsmen went to Bravo and hugged him while he was still on the ground. The incident ended with the players hugging and sharing a laugh together.

In the match, Hafeez smashed an innings of 70 runs in 59 balls and Hetmyer hit a quickfire 52 runs off 32 balls with the help of three sixes and three fours.
