The ICC on Wednesday penalised Indian pacer Ishant Sharma and Pakistan batsman Kamran Akmal for an altercation during the opening Twenty20 International played in Bangalore on Tuesday night. The incident happened in the 18th over of the Pakistan's innings while they were chasing the target. Akmal was penalised 5 per cent of his match fee after he pleaded guilty to breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct. Sharma had to forgo 15 per cent of his match fee for the incident. After reviewing the evidence and the video footage, match referee Roshan Mahanama re-confirmed that Sharma initiated the incident, which was reported by all four umpires. The two got into an argument when Akmal was declared not out after he was caught off a no ball by Ishant, and was beaten on the next ball.
