West Indies fined for slow over-rate in first ODI
The Hayley Matthews-led side has copped sanctions for slow over rate during their ODI series against Australia.
West Indies have been fined 10 per cent match fee for a slow over-rate during their first Women’s ODI against Australia in St. Kitts on Friday.
Windies captain Hayley Matthews pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
The sanction was imposed by Reon King of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees after the hosts were ruled out to be two overs short of the target, with time allowances taken into consideration.
On-field umpires Lauren Agenbag and Candace La Borde, third umpire Jacquline Williams and fourth umpire Maria Abbott leveled the charge.
The fixture saw Australia emerge triumphant by 103 runs, courtesy of a strong all-round display by the visitors.
Australia currently hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series after clinching the second ODI by 90 runs on Sunday.
