"It's over for Fakhar Zaman. Since the evidence has come out, I'm sure that he'll be fined a huge amount," Basit Ali said. 

Afridi, who is the captain of the Qalandars blatantly denied it at the post-match presentation as well. 

'Don't know about this'

"I don't know about this and we'll see if it's there in the camera and discuss what it is. Actually, five runs taken and we can't do anything. Like, you can't say. Not for me, my team is fighting till the last ball, which I need for every game," Afridi said at the post-match presentation.
