PROVIDENCE, April 2: West Indies’ World Cup miseries multiplied on Monday when match referee Jeff Crowe handed the hosts a fine for their slow over-rate during their 113-run defeat against Sri Lanka.
Match referee Crowe imposed the fines after Brian Lara's side was ruled two overs short of its target at the scheduled finish of the Sri Lanka innings at the Providence Stadium on Sunday, said an ICC statement.
“In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct over-rate penalties, players are fined five 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,” said the ICC statement.—AFP
