Quetta Gladiators mentor Sir Vivian Richards stepped in between the players and diffused the situation by stopping Sarfaraz. Peshawar Zalmi skipper Darren Sammy came forward to stop Riaz from their side.

There was another altercation between Roy and Riaz earlier in the match as well. Peshawar Zalmi won the match in a dominant manner by six wickets on the back of a scintillating hundred from wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal.

"They are good friends but these things happen in the heat of the moment. I don't think there is anything to worry about," said Kamran Akmal after the match while responding to a question on the incident.
