Overview

• The ICC docked India five percent of their match fee for a slow over-rate in the October 12 group match in Visakhapatnam.
• Match referee Michell Periera imposed the sanction after charges from on-field umpires Sue Redfern and Nimali Perera with Kim Cotton as third umpire and Jacquline Williams as fourth official.
• India captain Harmanpreet Kaur accepted the offence and the proposed sanction, so no formal hearing was required.
• The decision was made under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which prescribes a five percent fine per over not bowled in time.
• The fine follows Australia’s three-wicket win at the ACA-VDCA Stadium, where they chased 331 as Alyssa Healy scored 142 after India posted 330 led by Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal.
