Pakistan are fined by the ICC for a slow over-rate during their ODI tri-series final win over Sri Lanka in Lahore. The sanction is five per cent of match fees after Pakistan were found one over short once time allowances are taken into account by match referee Jeff Crowe, according to an ICC statement.
The fine is imposed under the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, with captain Shaheen Shah Afridi pleading guilty and accepting the proposed penalty. The charge is reported as being raised by the on-field umpires, with the decision referenced through the officials involved in the match.
While most outlets focus only on the disciplinary outcome, the fuller report adds match context: Pakistan win by three wickets after setting up a successful chase of 326. Fakhar Zaman scores 127 off 99 balls, helping Pakistan recover from an early collapse and complete a record joint successful ODI-final chase.
Across sources, the core facts about the fine, the over-rate finding, and the match are consistent, with variation mainly in the amount of surrounding match detail provided.
