Pakistan Tri -Series – Pak vs SA – Shaheen Afridi condemned to a fine and a point of demerit for a confrontation on the ground with Matthew Breetzke

Afridi was sentenced to a fine of 25% of his match fees for violation of article 2.12 of the Code of Driving, which concerns “inappropriate physical contact” with a player or someone else in a match .

In the 28th in the rounds of South Africa, Afridi was seen in the way of the striker Matthew Breetzke while he was trying a race. This, as the ICC said, led to “physical contact and a heated exchange between the two players”.

It was out of the last ball of the end. Just the front ball, Breetzke, after defending the ball, made a gesture with his bat, to which Afridi reacted by walking on the ground and saying something. Breetzke did not fall back and the referees were quickly on the scene.

Apart from the last ball, Breetzke took off for a race after playing the ball on the side of the leg and Afridi moved to the striker. Breetzke fell it before finishing its race.

Shakeel and Ghumlam, the replacement player, were sentenced to a fine of 10% of their match costs to “celebrate too closely to beat Tempa Bavuma after his run in the 29th”.

It was a violation of article 2.5 of the code, which relates to “the use of language, actions or gestures which denigrate or which could cause an aggressive reaction of a paste”.

None of the three had previous demerit points.

Pakistan won the match, chasing South Africa 352 for 5 with one on the left – it was their first successful prosecution of more than 350 points in Odi, and put them in the tri -series final, where They will take New Zealand on Friday before the action passes to the Champions Trophy.
