India Fined For Slow Over-rate After Defeat To Australia In Third ODI
Arun Jaitley Stadium: India have been fined 10 percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate in the third and deciding Women’s ODI against Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, a contest that produced record-breaking batting but ended in a 43-run win for the visitors.
G.S. Lakshmi of the ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after India were found two overs short of their target, even after time allowances were considered. Under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, players are fined five percent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur pled guilty and accepted the sanction, avoiding a formal hearing.
The penalty capped off a historic clash in which both teams produced the highest-ever aggregate in a women’s ODI — 748 runs in 94.5 overs — with 99 fours and 12 sixes struck between them.
