The Australian team found itself in the middle of another controversy following the T20 tri-series final against Pakistan in Harare on Sunday.

Pakistan romped to a six-wicket win over Australia with opener Fakhar Zaman hitting 91 as the men in green chased down 184.

It was a fine effort from Pakistan in the chase after they lost two wickets in the first over bowled by Aussie all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.

However, Zaman and veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik (43) saw the world No1 team past the finish line.

After the match got over, there was a moment of controversy.

As Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed went in to shake hands with the Aussie players, Maxwell was captured on camera failing to meet the Pakistan skipper’s extended hand.

There was no suggestion that it was a deliberate action but many on social media took exception to it.
