Pakistan fell short by four overs after factoring in time allowances, prompting the sanction under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which addresses minimum over-rate violations. Each player incurs a 5% fee deduction for every over not bowled within the allocated time.
The charge was issued by on-field umpires Alex Wharf and Asif Yaqoob, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, and fourth umpire Rashid Riaz. Pakistan captain Shaheen Afridi accepted the penalty, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.
wickets,Despite the fine, Pakistan leads the three-match series 1-0 following a thrilling six-run win. Salman Ali Agha’s unbeaten century and Hussain Talat’s fifty helped Pakistan post 299/5, while Haris Rauf took four wickets and Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, and Mohammad Nawaz contributed with key scalps to restrict Sri Lanka to 293/9, despite Wanindu Hasaranga’s resilient half-century.
The series schedule was revised following a deadly blast in Islamabad on November 12 that killed 12 people and injured over 30. The second ODI will now take place on November 14, and the third and final match on November 16, both at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
