NEW CHANDIGARH: India and the West Indies have been fined for maintaining slow over rates during the third and final ODI of their series in New Chandigarh.
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), India were fined 20 percent of their match fee, while the West Indies were penalized 10 percent for failing to complete their allotted overs within the required time.
After accounting for time allowances, India were found to be four overs short of the required rate, while the West Indies were two overs behind.
The penalties were imposed by Prakash Bhat, a member of the ICC International Panel of Match Referees.
Both captains admitted to the offences and accepted the proposed sanctions, meaning no formal hearing was required.
India had already secured the three-match ODI series after taking an unassailable 2-0 lead, but the West Indies produced a remarkable comeback in the final match.
Led by an unbeaten 162 from Shai Hope, the West Indies successfully chased down a target of 352 runs, recording their highest successful run chase in ODI cricket.
The two sides will now turn their attention to a five-match T20I series, scheduled to begin on October
