Pakistan skipper Misbah ul Haq was fined 15
per cent of his match fee for showing dissent at an umpire's decision and Kiwi
bowler Adam Milne was reprimanded for using obscene language during a one-day
international in Sharjah.
New Zealand won the match by four wickets on Friday to level the five-match
series at 1-1 after Pakistan took the first game in Dubai.
Misbah also hurt his hamstring while fielding and is now doubtful for the
third match, also in Sharjah on Sunday.
"Misbah was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for... showing dissent at an
umpire's decision during an international match," the International Cricket
Council (ICC) said in a statement.
Misbah expressed his displeasure in the 37th over after TV umpire Joel
Wilson upheld on-field umpire Richard Illingworth's decision to give him caught
behind off paceman Matt Henry.
Misbah made 47 in Pakistan's total of 252 all out, which New Zealand
overhauled in 46 overs.
Kiwi paceman Milne received an official reprimand for violating the game's
code of conduct, the ICC said.
After Milne had dismissed Pakistan's Shahid Afridi in the 41st over, the
right-arm fast bowler was clearly observed using an inappropriate word, the
sport's world governing body added.
"After the match, both players admitted the offences and accepted the
sanctions proposed by Sri Lankan match referee Roshan Mahanama," the ICC said.
Under the ICC's code of conduct all Level 1 breaches carry a minimum
penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a
player's match fee.
The final two games in the series will be played in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday
