KARACHI: Peshawar Zalmi were fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during their two-run victory over Karachi Kings in the second match of the Pakistan Super League 8 at the National Bank Cricket Arena on Tuesday.
“Peshawar Zalmi were ruled to be one over short of their target by match referee Ali Naqvi, who took into consideration time allowances before arriving at the decision,” said PCB in a media release on Wednesday.
As such, and in accordance with Article 2.22 of the PSL Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, each player was fined 10 per cent of his match fee, added PCB.
Meanwhile, PCB also fined each member of Lahore Qalandars 10 per cent of his match fee after their side was one over short during their one-run victory over Multan Sultans in the opener on Monday.
It may be noted that Zalmi sealed a thrilling win over Karachi Kings in last night’s encounter that went down to the wire.
Set to chase 200, the Kings fell a mere two runs short as they finished at 197/5 in their set of 20 overs despite a magnificent half-century from Shoaib Malik and an unbeaten 80-run knock by skipper Imad Wasim.
