Shaheen Afridi's Pakistan penalised for slow over-rate after tri-series triumph

Pakistan secured a tri-series title after successfully chasing a 326-run target against Sri Lanka, winning by three wickets with nine balls remaining. Fakhar Zaman led the charge with a century, scoring 127 runs from 99 balls.

Despite the victory, the squad faced a disciplinary penalty for failing to maintain the required over-rate during the match. Captain Shaheen Afridi accepted the ICC sanction, which resulted in a five percent match fee fine for the team for being one over behind schedule.

The tournament also included England, with Pakistan finishing the series having lost only one group-stage game.
