The clash occurred during Khulna’s innings when Nawaz was dismissed off a slower delivery by Sakib. As Nawaz walked off, Sakib bumped into him, triggering a heated exchange of words between the two players.

On-field umpire intervention, along with Sylhet’s wicketkeeper George Munsey, was required to de-escalate the situation.

Match referee Ehsanul Haque Sejan reviewed the incident post-match. Since both players accepted the referee's decision, no formal hearing was necessary. While Sakib faced both a fine and demerit points, Nawaz’s punishment was limited to a financial penalty.
