Afghanistan left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi has been fined 15 per cent of his match charge for displaying dissent at an umpire’s choice in the course of the second ODI of the three-match collection in opposition to Zimbabwe in Harare. Farooqi was penalised for breaching Degree 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct. The violation falls beneath Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Gamers and Participant Help Personnel, which addresses “displaying dissent at an umpire’s choice throughout a global match.” The incident occurred within the fifth over of Zimbabwe’s innings on Thursday when Farooqi confirmed dissent after an LBW enchantment in opposition to Craig Ervine was turned down.
Farooqi gestured for a overview regardless of the absence of DRS within the match.
As well as, one demerit level has been added to Farooqi’s disciplinary file, for whom it was the primary offence in a 24-month interval.
Farooqi admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Andy Pycroft, and levelled by on-field umpires Chris Brown and Percival Sizara, third umpire Langton Rusere and fourth umpire Iknow Chabi.
Afghanistan delivered a dominant efficiency within the second ODI, thrashing Zimbabwe by 232 runs — their largest victory by runs within the format.
Sediqullah Atal (104) and Abdul Malik (84) put collectively a commanding 191-run opening stand, setting the stage for the guests to publish 286 for six of their 50 overs.
In response, Zimbabwe collapsed for simply 54.
The third ODI of the collection will likely be performed right here on Saturday.
