Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 113 runs on Sunday to go 2-1 up in the  five-match series, with the last two games in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday  and Friday. The International Cricket Council (ICC) said Shehzad pleaded  guilty to the offence. "The opener was found to have breached Article 2.2.4 of the ICC  code of conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates  to 'inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between Players in the  course of play during an international match'," said a ICC statement. The charge had been laid by the on-field umpires Johan Cloete of  South Africa and Pakistan's Shozab Raza, as well as third umpire Richard  Illingworth from England and fourth umpire Ahsan Raza of Pakistan. The incident happened at the end of the 19th over when Shehzad  got involved in a debate with Dilshan, which ended with the former  pushing the Sri Lanka opener's shoulder.
