Players were required to escort the players off the pitch to get the fans off the roofs.
Friday’s game in Dubai could be tense as both the teams are undefeated and chasing the semi-finals.
Weekend capacity rush is expected amid the vast expatriate population of both the countries living and working in the Gulf.
“Of course it’s always a good game against Pakistan, but it should remain as a game,” Rashid said on Thursday.
“I request all the fans to stay calm and calm and enjoy the game. What happened in the 2019 match should not have happened.”

Rashid took four and fellow spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman took five as Afghanistan began their T20 World Cup in style, bowling Scotland out for just 60 in their mammoth reply of 190-4.
However, the Afghanistan team came into the tournament under threat of a ban due to the ruling Taliban government’s tough stance on the women’s game.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) – which makes men’s and women’s teams mandatory for all member nations – said it is monitoring the situation and will discuss the matter at its meeting in Dubai next month.

Afghanistan cricket chief Azizullah Fazli told AFP at the start of the tournament: “Our government is streamlining things and women’s cricket will also be streamlined.”
Rashid said that the team is just trying to focus on the tournament.
“We only have the World Cup in our mind, we are playing five games and we need to win three games,” the 23-year-old said.
“We don’t think about what’s happening. We don’t think about what happened in the past. It’s something that’s not in our hands, it’s not in our control.
“We shouldn’t think about it, we don’t want extra pressure on us,” he said. As a team we are focused on this World Cup to get better and better.”
Afghanistan hit 11 sixes and 13 fours in their defeat to Scotland in Sharjah.

But Rashid said hitting aggressive shots is not the only objective of the team.
He said, ‘To be honest, we do not have the kind of mentality like you have to focus on hitting so many sixes.
But you have to adjust yourself with the wicket.
He said, ‘I think we need to play good cricket. It’s not about hitting too many sixes. It is very difficult to hit sixes on these grounds. Wickets are not that good for hitting sixes.”
