Shaheen responds to five-operate penalty over tilt in ball's condition
Lahore Qalandars captain Shaheen Shah Afridi said on Sunday that he was unaware of the ball's condition tilt that led to a five-operate penalty during their Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 clash against Karachi Kings at Gaddafi Stadium today.
The occurrence occurred ahead of the ultimate over of the Kings' innings, as the on-domain umpires analysed the ball and deemed that its condition was altered, which resulted in a five-operate penalty for the fielding side.
The penalty brought the equation down to just nine required off the ultimate over instead of 14 for the Kings, and Abbas Afridi's consecutive boundaries on the second and third deliveries, steering the 2020 champions to an enthralling four-wicket victory.
Although Shaheen expressed his disappointment over the umpires' judgment when they slapped the home side with a penalty, he claimed to be unaware of the accusation, insisting that they would talk it.
"I don't know about this [ball tampering], and we'll talk. Five runs penalty...still we can't say anything. We will view," said Shaheen at the post-fit presentation.
