BD, WI fined for slow over-rates

Bangladesh and West Indies have been fined for slow over-rates in their second T20I in Mirpur, which Bangladesh won by 36 runs on Thursday.

The ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees fined Bangladesh as the side was found to be one over short of its target when time allowances were considered while the Windies were two overs short.

In accordance with Article 2.22.1 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Players Support Personnel, players are fined 10 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount.

As such, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee while his players received 10 per cent fines.

West Indies skipper Carlos Brathwaite was fined 40 per cent of his match fee while his players received 20 per cent fines. Both captains pleaded guilty to the offences after the end of the match and accepted the proposed sanctions.
