Khushdil has also been assigned three demerit points. This was his first crime over a 24 -month period.
The incident occurred during the eighth over of Pakistan's innings, when Khushdil hit the third ball from Folks in mid-on. He ran into the bowler, who turned to his back with his left shoulder. The umpire had a word with Khushdil after the batsmen escaped two.
Since Khushdil had accepted the sanctions imposed by umpires and match referee Jeff Crowe, no formal hearing was required.
Khushdil scored 32 runs for Pakistan with 32 balls in the first T20I, but got very little support from the other end as he was excluded for 91. Openers Tim Safart and Finn Ellen helped New Zealand chase the target in 10.1 overs, leading them a 1-0 lead.
After five T20I, both teams will also face three Odis.
