Islamabad United’s fast bowler, Naseem Shah, received a 10 percent fine of his match fees for violating the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) Code of Conduct during the Rawalpindi match against Multan Sultans on Sunday.
Match referee Roshan Mahanama found Shah guilty of a Level 1 breach, and Shah accepted the charges. The breach occurred when Shah kicked the stumps at the conclusion of the first innings, where Multan set a formidable total of 228-4.
The charge pertained to violating Article 2.2, which addresses the abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment, or fixtures and fittings. The right-arm pacer delivered a commendable final over, maintaining tight control despite the preceding batting onslaught.
He conceded just nine runs, concluding with impressive figures of 1-31 on a challenging flat pitch. Guided by half-centuries from Colin Munro and captain Shadab Khan, Islamabad United remained competitive in the run chase.
A late surge by Imad Wasim ultimately led the team to a thrilling last-ball three-wicket triumph. This exciting victory propelled the franchise to the second position in the table, concluding their league-stage campaign.
Colin Munro had a remarkable season with the bat, accumulating 309 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 139.18. Meanwhile, Naseem Shah emerged as the leading wicket-taker for the franchise, claiming 10 wickets in eight appearances.
