NZ vs PAK: Pakistan has been penalized five percent of their match fee for having a slow over-rate against New Zealand in the third ODI in Mount Maunganui on Saturday, according to a press release from the ICC.
Jeff Crowe from the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees applied the penalty after it was determined that Mohammad Rizwan’s team was one over short of the mark after accounting for time allowances.
In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.

Rizwan pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Chris Brown and Paul Reiffel, third umpire Michael Gough, and fourth umpire Wayne Knights leveled the charge.
