BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC – The West Indies cricket group has been penalised for sustaining a gradual over-rate throughout their fourth T20 Worldwide in opposition to Australia at Warner Park on Saturday.
The gamers have been fined 10% of their match charges after falling two overs in need of the required goal, even after accounting for time allowances.
The sanction was imposed by match referee Reon King of the Emirates ICC Worldwide Panel.
Below Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Gamers and Participant Assist Personnel, gamers are docked 5% of their match charge for every over their group fails to finish throughout the allotted time.
West Indies captain Shai Hope admitted the offence and accepted the penalty, avoiding the necessity for a proper listening to.
The cost was introduced by on-field umpires Gregory Brathwaite and Leslie Reifer, third umpire Zahid Bassarath, and fourth umpire Deighton Buttler.
The hosts, regardless of the setback, will look to regroup as they put together for the ultimate match of the collection on Monday. The regional facet will likely be trying to keep away from a 5-0 collection whitewash.
