Iftikhar Ahmed is punished for violating the code of conduct.

KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday fined All-Round player Iftikhar Ahmed of the Multan Sultans 5% of his match pay for using foul language during the current Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9.

 


 In the National Bank Stadium in Karachi, during his team's PSL 9 match against the Quetta Gladiators, Iftikhar Ahmed was fined for a Level 1 violation of the PSL's code of conduct.

The HBL PSL Code of Conduct states that Iftikhar is prohibited from "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during a match." This rule was determined to have been broken by the player.

Iftikhar used offensive comments to Jason Roy, the hitter who was removed, during the third over of the Quetta Gladiators' batting innings.


There was no need for a formal hearing because Iftikhar entered a guilty plea to the charge and agreed to the penalties suggested by match referee Ali Naqvi.

Rashid Riaz and Richard Illingworth, the on-field umpires, levied the charge.

Multan Sultans' all-around effort during the game helped them easily defeat Quetta Gladiators to take back the top spot in the PSL 9 standings with 14 points. They also secured a meeting with Peshawar Zalmi, who moved up to second place with one less point, in the Qualifiers.

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard  Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...

In a crucial match, Islamabad defeated Karachi by five wickets.

 With the victory, Islamabad United moved up to second place in the points table. Scoreboard In the Pakistan Super League on Thursday, fast bowlers Tymal Mills and Faheem Ashraf upset the top-order of Karachi Kings to give Islamabad United a crucial five-wicket victory. With nine points and a higher net-run percentage than Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi—both of whom are vying for a playoff spot—United advanced to No. 2 in the standings. Kings need to win their next two games to get six points, and they also need other teams to lose. Playing in his first Rawalpindi-leg match of the season, Mills took three wickets for thirty-four, and Ashraf, with his skilful bowling, removed opening batsmen Shan Masood (10) and Tim Seifert (26) to limit Karachi to one hundred and fifty-seven. United won their fourth game by chasing the goal in 18.4. A ray of hope was provided by Karachi by left-arm fast bowler Mir Hamza (3-41) who removed power hitters Alex Hales (18) and Colin Munro (9) duri...

Despite Jamal's flashy displays, all-around Shadab secures a significant victory. Scoreboard For Islamabad United, brothers Naseem and Hunain also excelled, slicing through the Peshawar Zalmi starting lineup. In the Pakistan Super League on Monday, Islamabad United defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 29 runs after stifling Aamer Jamal's lightning-fast half-century.
