India women have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate in the second ODI of their ICC Women’s Championship series against Australia.

The second ODI between the two sides was played in Brisbane, with Australia posting a record total of 371/8, their highest-ever score against India. In response, India could muster only 249 and lost the game by 122 runs.
Australia take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series with a dominant 122-run victory 💪

The charges were levelled by on-field umpires Claire Polosak and Donovan Koch, third umpire Jacquline Williams and fourth umpire David Taylor. India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
The three-game ODI series was won by Australia 3-0.
