Pakistan are fined 5% of their match fee by the ICC for maintaining a slow over-rate during their Group A match against India in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The match is played at Edgbaston in Birmingham, with the incident occurring after Pakistan falls short of the required over rate while playing India. The ICC applies the fine under its playing regulations, which include penalties for teams that do not complete the scheduled number of overs within the allotted time.
The fine is separate from the result of the match, which Pakistan lose to India. The punishment is reported as a percentage of Pakistan’s match earnings, indicating that the ICC treats the over-rate offence as a disciplinary and regulatory matter rather than a scoring-related issue. The report highlights the specific trigger—slow over-rate—rather than any allegation of misconduct or player discipline. Pakistan’s next steps in the tournament are not described in the provided account.
