The match at the Gaddafi Stadium was completely overshadowed by a ball-tampering scandal. On-field umpires intervened right before the final over of the run chase. After inspecting the ball, the officials awarded Karachi Kings five penalty runs. Karachi Kings secured the victory by four wickets in the final over.
Umpire Faisal Afridi observed the interaction and immediately called for a strict inspection after Fakhar passed the ball to the bowler. Following a lengthy on-field discussion, the umpires concluded that Lahore Qalandars had deliberately altered the condition of the ball.
