The pair was charged with a Level 1 breach of Article 2.1.5 of the ICC's code - which is for showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match.
The players accepted match referee Steve Bernard's reprimand which was offered after he considered the umpires' written report. Shamsi made a rather zealous appeal against Matthew Short after having struck him on the pad in the 36th over to which the umpire remained unmoved even as the bowler was reduced to his knees. After the completion of the over, he protested with the umpire, expressing his dismay at the decision. The left-arm chinaman ended the game with returns of 2 for 68.
Adams shared a brilliant 91-run stand with David Miller to resurrect South Africa's chase after a flurry of quick wickets. Him being adjudged leg before to legspinner Kyle Gardiner for 44 put an end to that stand, to which, the batsman threw his head back in disappointment and stood his ground a few seconds before making the long walk back.
Both players, however, will be available when they take on NPS in a third-place play-off on Saturday (September 3).
