Dubai: Pakistan’s wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal and Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma have been fined five and 15 percent respectively of their match fees by International Cricket Council, here on Wednesday.
A heated argument erupted between the two players during the last overs of the first Twenty20 match played at Benglore cricket stadium and umpires had to step in to separate them and continue with the thrilling game which Pakistan won by five wickets.
The two got into an argument when Shoaib Malik was declared not out after he was caught off a no ball by Ishant, and then Akmal was beaten on the next ball as the two batsmen had crossed each other when the ball was in the air.
Soon both angry players exchanged a few angry words and wagged fingers at each other. Finally, the ground umpires and Indian players intervened and separated both of them.
