NEW DELHI: Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has been slapped with a 30% match fee fine for abusive behaviour and aggressive gestures during the high-voltage Asia Cup Super 4 India-Pakistan clash last Sunday. Meanwhile, teammate Sahibzada Farhan escaped heavy sanctions, receiving only a warning for his gun-shot celebration.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav was also fined 30 percent of match fee for comments that alluded to military skirmish between India and Pakistan, Asia Cup organisers said.

"Match referee Richie Richardson had completed his hearing on Friday afternoon at the team hotel. Hars Rauf has been fined 30 percent of his match fees for aggressive behaviour and Farhan has been let off with a warning," a tournament source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

Earlier, Rauf and Farhan had pleaded not guilty during their ICC hearing over allegedly provocative actions in the match against India, according to tournament sources.

The duo were accused of making provocative gestures in a formal complaint lodged by the BCCI on Wednesday. The bitter rivals are set to face each other in the Asia Cup final on Sunday.

While Rauf had mocked the Indian fans in the stands by gesturing about falling planes, Farhan's celebration after his half century in the game was also seen as offensive by the Indian side.

Pakistan too had filed a complaint against India captain Suryakumar Yadav for making political comments after he dedicated his team's win over the arch foes on September 14 to the victims of Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian Armed Forces.
