The ICC has imposed fines on three Pakistan cricketers for violating the code of conduct during their record-breaking chase against South Africa in Karachi.
Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi faced a 25% match fee fine for deliberately blocking Matthew Breetzke's path during a single in the 28th over. The incident led to physical contact and a confrontation between the players.
Saud Shakeel and substitute fielder Kamran Ghulam each received 10% match fee fines for celebrating too close to South Africa's captain Temba Bavuma after his run-out in the 29th over.
