West Indies and Sri Lanka have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate in their last match in Durham which Sri Lanka won by 23 runs.
David Boon of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the fines after Jason Holder’s West Indies and Dimuth Karunarathne’s Sri Lanka were both ruled to be two overs short of their target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
Captains Holder and Karunaratne have both been fined 40 percent of their match fees, while the rest of the players of both the teams have received 20 percent fines.
If either West Indies or Sri Lanka commit another minor over-rate breach in an ODI within 12 months of this offense with Holder or Karunaratne as captain, it will be deemed a second offense and they will face a suspension.
