Overview
- The ICC ruled that Fakhar Zaman showed dissent at an umpire’s decision during the 19th over of Pakistan’s innings in the November 29 final.
- Match referee Reon King imposed the penalty after reports from on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Asif Yaqoob, plus third umpire Rashid Riaz and fourth umpire Faisal Afridi.
- Zaman accepted the charge and sanction, so no formal hearing was required.
- One demerit point was added to his disciplinary record, his first in a 24-month period under ICC rules.
- Pakistan’s six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi remains unchanged by the post-match sanction.
