Sri Lanka fined for slow over-rate in second ODI against India

Match Referees Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel was handed the fine after Dasun Shanaka's team was ruled to be one over short of the objective when time allowances were taken into account.

Players are penalised 20% of their match fees for each over their team fails to bowl in the allocated time, according to Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with minimum over-rate offences.

Furthermore, according to Article 16.12.2 of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League Playing Conditions, a team is docked one point for each over they fail to complete. As a result, Sri Lanka will drop one point from their Super League point total.

There was no formal hearing because Shanaka pleaded confessed to the crime and accepted the suggested punishment. The accusation was levelled by on-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Lyndon Hannibal and third umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge and fourth umpire Prageeth Rambukwella.

Meanwhile, India leads the three-match One-Day International series 2-0, with the final match scheduled for July 23 in Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium.
