WC 2023: Sri Lanka fined for slow over-rate in group match against South Africa

Sri Lanka have been fined with a 10 percent deduction from their match fee due to their slow over-rate during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Match 4 against South Africa on October 7, 2023.

The fine was imposed by Javagal Srinath, a member of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees. It was determined that Dasun Shanaka's team fell 2



overs short of the required rate when time allowances were considered.

This penalty is in accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with minimum over-rate violations. For each over that a team fails to bowl within the stipulated time, players are fined 5 percent of their match fees.
