Pakistan fined for slow-over rate

The Pakistan team has been fined for a slow-over rate in the second one-dayer against India at Rawalpindi.

Ranjan Madugalle, the ICC match referee, ruled that Pakistan was three overs short at the stipulated cut-off time. While the team was penalised 15% of their match fee, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Pakistan's captain, had to concede 30%. According to ICC regulations: (i) for each of the first five overs short of the minimum overs required, 5% of each player's gross match fee in the fielding side; (ii) for the sixth and any subsequent over short of the minimum overs required, 10% of each player's gross match fee in the fielding side."

Pakistan were earlier penalised for a slow over-rate in the first one-dayer at Karachi, when the bowlers took 20 extra minutes to complete bowling 50 overs.
