  "account": "Pakistan's 0-3 Test series defeat against England has worsened following a substantial over-rate penalty. The team lost 11 World Test Championship points and faced a 50% fine of their match fee after the third Test in Birmingham. Pakistan fell short by 11 overs, resulting in the sanctions imposed by the ICC. Captain Babar Azam admitted to the offence, and no formal hearing was required. Pakistan now sits ninth in the WTC standings with a points percentage of 4.63, facing a difficult path ahead with their next match against Sri Lanka in November.",
  "summary": "Pakistan lost eleven World Test Championship points and faced a fifty percent match fee fine. This penalty resulted from a slow over-rate during their Test series against England. The team suffered a disappointing 3-0 series defeat in Birmingham. Pakistan captain Babar Azam accepted the proposed sanction for the offense. This deduction further impacts Pakistan's standing in the WTC standings.",
