Hamilton, April 3 -- Mohammed Rizwan-led Pakistan side have been fined five percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against New Zealand in the second ODI here on Wednesday.
Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after the visiting side was found to be one over short of the target after the time allowances were taken into consideration.
As per Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which governs minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five percent of their match fees for each over their team falls short of bowling in stipulated time.
