Ok, cool. It may be fishy, (maybe even dead on accurate, I didn't see the game), but the rule specifically states on an intentional hit batsman, both benches shall be warned...etc.
The rule is written this way, in my opinion, because a)it is hard to read minds as far as judging intent, and b)the retaliation is sometimes (most times??) worse, and is what leads to the brawls, headshots, and injuries in general.
