Former Black Caps batter Colin Munro fined after accusing opponent of chucking during Pakistan Super League match
Both players were deemed to have breached an article in the code relating to 'personal abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee' during a PSL match.
The charges were imposed by on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Chris Brown, to which both players pleaded guilty and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Ali Naqvi.
Munro was dismissed for 45 in the over following the altercation, with Ahmed taking the catch off a Michael Bracewell delivery.
But it was Munro who had the last laugh, with his side chasing down 169 to claim a seven-wicket win to stay unbeaten through five games and sit at the top of the table.
Last week, Munro claimed the record for the most half-centuries by a foreign player in the Pakistan Super League, with 13.
Munro hasn't played for the Black Caps since February 2020, opting to play in domestic leagues around the world, which has included stints in Australia, England and the Caribbean.
He first played in Pakistan in 2018 and has played 44 games for Islamabad.
There are a host of New Zealanders playing in Pakistan, with Finn Allen and Kyle Jamieson at the Quetta Gladiators, Daryl Mitchell plays for the Lahore Qalandars, and Tim Seifert is at the Karachi Kings.

Warning of phone scammers impersonating cops
Photo: RNZ Police are warning New Zealanders to keep an ear out for cold callers impersonating police officers. Waitematā's acting Detective Senior Sergeant Ben Bergin said scammers would pose as officers and try to extract personal details from the victim. "The story changes slightly, but it will usually involve some sort of investigation and this 'officer' will report having located a valuable item of yours, such as a passport," he said in a statement. "He will need your help or ask for your personal information. The caller speaks with an English accent and provides a bogus ID number to the victim." Police arrested a number of people last year for a similar scam, which involved the scammers asking victims to withdraw cash as part of an "investigation." "We strongly advise that you hang up," he said. "From time-to-time, Police officers may contact you as part of their genuine duties. It can be a bit surprising to receive a call unexpectantly, so stop and think if you get a far-fetched story shared down the telephone line."

ACT MP Welcomes Changes To Anti-Stalking Bill, Calls For Urgent Action On Newer Forms Of Abuse
Press Release – ACT New Zealand Patterns of abusive behaviour deserve to be recognised by the law, and these changes will help victims seek justice, ACT MP Laura McClure. ACT MP Laura McClure is welcoming changes made at select committee to strengthen the proposed anti-stalking law, but says more must be done to protect New Zealanders from modern forms of digital abuse, particularly sexually explicit deepfakes. 'I'm pleased to see the Government respond to public concern about stalking with more robust and practical legislation,' says McClure. 'Patterns of abusive behaviour deserve to be recognised by the law, and these changes will help victims seek justice. 'But we can't stop here. As technology evolves, so do the tools of harassment and abuse. Sexually explicit AI-generated deepfakes made without consent are a fast-growing threat, especially to young people and women. 'I have a members' bill in the ballot that would create a specific offence for the creation and distribution of non-consensual sexually explicit deepfake content. This should be adopted as a Government Bill. 'Deepfakes are harming real people today, and the law is failing to keep up. 'The same commitment to protecting stalking victims should extend to those targeted by synthetic sexual abuse. We need clear, targeted laws so police can act, courts can prosecute, and victims can get justice.'
