The International Cricket Council: Following India’s four-wicket win over England in the ODI series opener at Southampton, opener Pratika Rawal has been fined 10 percent of her match fee for a level one offence. At the same time, England have also been docked five percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over rate.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) said Pratika was penalised for two separate incidents that took place within a short period of time.

In the 18th over of India’s chase, Pratika made avoidable physical contact with fast bowler Lauren Filer while taking a single. Then, after being dismissed in the next over, she made similar avoidable contact with left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone on her way back to the dressing room.
