The International Cricket Council (ICC) has imposed fines on Pakistan and Sri Lanka for slow over-rates during the first match of their ODI tri-series in Rawalpindi. Pakistan was fined 10% of its match fees for being two overs behind the required rate, while Sri Lanka received a 5% fine for being one over late, after accounting for time allowances.
The fines, mandated under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, are levied when a team fails to bowl overs within the allotted time. Both captains, Shaheen Shah Afridi of Pakistan and Kusal Mendis of Sri Lanka, acknowledged their guilt and accepted the sanctions instead of facing formal hearings. The match saw Pakistan batting first and amassing 305 runs, with Salman Ali Agha scoring a century. Sri Lanka, chasing 306, were dismissed for 268, with Pavan Rathnayake top-scoring for them.
