India fined for slow over-rate in third Women's ODI against Australia
India have been fined 10 percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against Australia in the third Women’s One Day International in New Delhi on Saturday.
G.S.Lakshmi of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction as India were ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over if their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Lauren Agenbag and Janani Narayanan, third umpire Gayathri Venugopalan and fourth umpire Vrinda Rathi leveled the charge.
