Tournament sources reveal that Haris Rauf is expected to incur a fine for his use of 'abusive language and aggressive gestures' during the game against India last Sunday.
Conversely, Sahibzada Farhan has contested the allegations against him, arguing that his celebratory 'gun-fire' action is a legitimate cultural expression within his Pakhtun tribe in Pakistan.
