Fakhar Zaman of Pakistan has been penalized with a fine equivalent to 10 percent of his match fee. This disciplinary action stems from a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct, specifically concerning dissent towards an umpire's decision during the Tri-Series final against Sri Lanka on November 29.
The incident led to one demerit point being added to Zaman's record, marking his first offense within a 24-month period. The dispute occurred in the 19th over of Pakistan's innings following his dismissal. Zaman accepted the sanction, negating the need for a formal hearing.
Pakistan achieved a convincing six-wicket victory in the Tri-Series final. They successfully chased down Sri Lanka's total of 114 runs, with contributions from Babar Azam and Saim Ayub. This win capped off a strong year for Pakistan in T20 Internationals.
