• Steve took a magnificent catch of Pakistani batsman Fawad Alam in slips which was a little controversial as Smith ran to the ball before the batsmen played the shot, later it was declared a fair catch.

After the investigation, the Cricket Australia banned Steve Smith and David Warner for a year, and Cameron Bancroft for 9 months, from international and domestic cricket
