Pakistan have been fined for a slow over-rate for the third time in four ODIs, with another fine imposed upon them after they were found one over short during the second game against New Zealand in Hamilton.

This is their second successive over-rate offence in the current series. Captain Mohammad Rizwan admitted the charge, resulting in a five percent deduction from the match fees of the players.

Match referee Jeff Crowe handed down the penalty under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which deals with over-rate offences. Under the rule, players are fined 5 percent of their match fees for every over the team does not bowl within the time limit. The charge was brought by on-field umpires Michael Gough and Wayne Knights, third umpire Paul Reiffel, and fourth umpire Chris Brown.

Repeated Over-Rate Violations

Pakistan were earlier discovered two overs short in the first ODI of the three-match series in Napier, where they lost by 73 runs. Their woes continued in the second ODI, where they lost by 84 runs, losing the series with a game to spare. Pursuing a score of 293, Pakistan folded to 72 for 7 before No. 7 Faheem Ashraf and No. 10 Naseem Shah resisted with half-centuries, taking the team to 208. New Zealand wicketkeeper Mitchell Hay's unbeaten 99 earlier took his team to 292, while fast bowler Ben Sears took his career-best ODI figures of 5 for 59.
