Match-throwing incident
The tournament involved a match-throwing incident in the match between the Sialkot Stallions and the Karachi Zebras. Shoaib Malik, the captain of the Stallions, openly admitted to deliberately losing their match against the Karachi Zebras in an attempt to eliminate the Lahore Eagles from the competition. Neither team received points for the match. PCB declared the match void and Karachi Zebras were denied a place in the triangular phase of the ABN Amro Twenty20 Cup despite winning their Pool 'B' fixture against Sialkot Stallions.[7] Malik was expressing his disappointment at earlier decisions in the competition that he felt went against his side and it did not involve any match-fixing or financial implications.[8]
Malik's actions were against his code of conduct as a Test cricketer and had effect on the image of Pakistan cricket, the sponsors and the audience. After realising this, Malik later apologised. He was banned for one Test match and fined Rs. 10,000 and 75% of his match fees for two One Day International matches.[5][9]
