Ireland fined for slow over-rate in third Women’s ODI against India
Media release
Ireland players have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate in the third ODI of their ICC Women’s Championship series against India in Rajkot on Wednesday.
G S Lakshmi of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after Ireland were ruled to be two overs 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 five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
Ireland captain Gaby Lewis pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Kim Cotton and Akshay Totre, third umpire Virender Sharma and fourth umpire Vrinda Rathi leveled the charge.
