India Today
South Africa were fined 20 percent of their match fee for slow over-rate in their 7-wicket win over India in the 2nd ODI in Paarl on Friday.
South Africa have been fined 20 percent of their match fee for slow over-rate during the 2nd ODI of a 3-match series against India at the Boland Park in Paarl on Friday.
Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after Temba Bavuma'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 per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
Bavuma pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Adrien Holdstock, third umpire Bongani Jele and fourth umpire Allauhudien Palekar levelled the charge
South Africa took an unbeatable 2-0 lead by winning the 2nd ODI by 7 wickets. Chasing 288, the Proteas rode on fifties from Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan to get past the finish line with 11 balls left. The two teams will meet in the final ODI on Sunday in Cape Town. India will look to avoid a series sweep in the finale.
