Pakistan fined for slow over rate in tri-series final
Pakistan fined for slow over rate in tri-series final

The International Cricket Council (ICC) fined Pakistan on Monday for slow over rates during the tri-series final against Sri Lanka in Lahore.

Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by three wickets on Saturday to win their first one-day international tri-series title at home.

ICC match referee Jeff Crowe "found (Pakistan) to be one over short after time allowances were taken into consideration", world cricket's governing body said in a statement.

Pakistan were consequently fined five per cent of their match fee.

Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, meaning there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Wayne Knights, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Rashid Riaz made the charge.

England, who lost three of their four matches, placed third in the series in Pakistan.
