Slow Over-rate Costs England Two WTC Points And 10 Pc Match Fee
World Test Championship: Maintaining a slow over-rate during their pulsating 22-run win over India in the Lord’s Test has cost England two points from their World Test Championship (WTC) tally and 10 per cent fine of their match fee.
A statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC) said as per Article 16.11.2 of the World Test Championship playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short, and after time allowances were taken into consideration.
Now, after being found guilty of the slow over-rate offence at Lord’s, England's tally in the WTC standings has dropped from 24 to 22 out of 36 points, consequently reducing their point percentage from 66.67 per cent to 61.11 per cent.
