The battle was fought in the latter half of June, "when the air was like a furnace". A charge by Hakīm Sūr the Afghān, who was fighting for the Rānā, put Lon Karan's Rājputs to flight, and Āsaf Khān's contingent maintained a heavy fire of musketry and shot flights of arrows into the mingled mass. Badāūnī, who was present, asked Āsaf Khān how it was possible to distinguish friend from foe, and Āsaf Khān replied, "They will hear the whiz of the arrows, be they who they may, and on whichever side they fall the gain is Islām's".
