Shoaib Malik fined for slow over-rate during the second match of the tri-series against India

Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee for a . International Cricket Council match referee Jeff Crowe found Malik and his team to have been two overs short of the target when time allowances were taken into consideration. Pakistan’s players were each fined 10 per cent of their match fees, 5 per cent for every over, while the captain was fined doubled in accordance with ICC rules. "Although there was a rain interruption late in the innings, which always makes it difficult to keep the overs flowing, Pakistan only bowled 13 overs by the first drinks break and never managed to recover that deficit," said Crowe of his decision. Pakistan’s bowlers were guilty of bowling as many as 15 wides and three no-balls, which contributed to the slow over-rate. India beat Pakistan by 140 runs, but both teams will progress to Saturday's final should India beat Bangladesh on Thursday. .
