Pakistan fined for slow over-rate in Mirpur

[SLICKR392]

The Pakistan side has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during its 21 runs victory over Bangladesh in the opening match of the Asia Cup cricket tournament in Mirpur, Dhaka on Sunday. David Boon of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fines after Misbah-ul-HaqÃÔ side was ruled to be two overs short of its target when time allowances were taken into consideration. In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations governing minor over-rate offences, players are fined 10 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount. http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/newsdetails.php?newsId=19464_1331573760

Misbah in danger of over-rate ban http://www.espncricinfo.com/asia-cup-2012/content/current/story/557088.html

Misbah-ul-Haq has become the latest captain under threat of a one-match suspension for maintaining a slow over-rate, after Pakistan fell two overs short of their target in the opening game of the Asia Cup, against Bangladesh in Mirpur. Misbah was fined 40% of his match-fee for the offence while the rest of the players were docked 20%, but Misbah will face a suspension if his side have another over-rate transgression in an ODI in the next 12 months.
