| Battered Pakistan team fined for slow over rate | | | Kingston, (Jamaica), March 19
Pakistan's cup of woes from their shock loss to Ireland spilled over, as skipper Inzamam-ul Haq was fined a hefty 50 percent of his match fee, while his teammates were docked 20 per cent for their slow over rate.
Pakistan were found four-overs short, while defending a paltry total of 128 during its humiliating three-wicket loss to Ireland, which shattered their World Cup dreams.
"ICC match referee Chris Broad imposed the fines after Inzamam-ul-Haq's side was ruled to be four overs short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration," ICC said in a release on Sunday.
"And with the shortfall being more than two overs, Inzamam, as captain, was automatically charged with a Level two Code of Conduct breach, clause 2.11.
"Inzamam was fined 50 per cent of his match fee for the breach - the minimum amount allowable for a Level two offence - as well as a further 40 per cent of his match fee for the shortfall," it said.
"That latter fine comes about because, in accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations governing over-rate penalties, the captain is automatically fined 10 per cent of his match fee for every over his side fails to bowl in the time allocated," ICC said.
The other players were each fined five per cent of their match fees for every over they fell short.
The hearing was attended by Inzamam, Pakistan team manager Talat Ali and the four umpires on duty for the match, on-field officials Brian Jerling and Billy Bowden, third umpire Simon Taufel and fourth official Ian Gould.
