Team India fined for maintaining slow over-rate in Women’s tri-series opener against Sri Lanka

The Indian women’s team was fined five per cent of its match fees after being found one over short of required over allowance in the tri-series opener against Sri Lanka. It was a rain-affected game, but the Women in Blue couldn’t finish their 39 overs in the required time limit and were found guilty of breaching Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct. Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur accepted the offence and hence, a formal hearing was not required.
