HOVE: The Indian women's cricket team was on Monday fined 20 percent of its match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against England in the second Twenty20 International.
India levelled the series with a narrow eight-run win.
According to an
ICC
release, match referee
Phil Whitticase imposed the sanction after
Harmanpreet Kaur's side was ruled to be one over 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 20 percent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time," the ICC release said.
Kaur pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Ian Blackwell and
Paul Baldwin
, third umpire
Sue Redfern
and fourth umpire
Tim Robinson levelled the charge.
