The incident happened in the second over of the game when a short ball from Haris Rauf took the top edge off the bat of Peshawar batsman Mohammed Haris.

It is to be noted that Haris Rauf was upset with Ghulam, since he dropped a catch off his bowling in the same over. In the second ball of the over, Hazratullah Zazai gave a straightforward catch to Ghulam, who was standing at point. He however failed to grab it and put it down. This is said to be the reason for Rauf slapping Ghulam three balls later.
However, things were cool between the two players as in the 17th over, Ghulam ran out Peshawar skipper Wahab Riaz with a brilliant direct hit and Rauf ran and hugged him for his effort and both the players exchanged pleasantry smiles.
