The issue arose when Munro appeared to gesture towards Iftikhar Ahmed after playing a shot. Rizwan reacted to the gesture, leading to a verbal exchange.
Match referee Ali Naqvi found both players guilty of committing a Level 2 offence under Article 2.13 of the PSL code, which deals with inappropriate conduct by players.
