Overview
- The ICC imposed a 10% match-fee fine and one demerit point on Fakhar Zaman for showing dissent at an umpire’s decision.
- The incident occurred in the 19th over of Pakistan’s innings in the T20I Tri-Series final against Sri Lanka at Rawalpindi.
- Match referee Reon King sanctioned the penalty after charges were reported by on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Asif Yaqoob, third umpire Rashid Riaz, and fourth umpire Faisal Afridi.
- Zaman admitted the offence and accepted the sanction, so no formal hearing was required, and it was his first offence in 24 months.
- Level 1 offences can draw up to a 50% fine and one or two demerit points, while Pakistan won the final by six wickets.
