Dubai, 10 February 2009
The Sri Lanka team was fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during its three-wicket defeat against India in the Twenty20 International (T20I) at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday.
Chris Broad of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fines after Tillakaratne Dilshan’s side was ruled to be two overs short of its target when time allowances were taken into consideration.
In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations governing over-rate penalties, players are fined five 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, Dilshan was fined 20 per cent of his match fee while his players received 10-per-cent fines. The match was Dilshan’s second T20I in charge of Sri Lanka having also captained the side against Pakistan at King City in Ontario, Canada in October 2008.
The offence is contrary to Section J of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to slow over-rates. For such offences, the decision of the ICC match referee is final and binding.
