Dravid, team fined

Published February 8, 2006

ISLAMABAD, Feb 7: India have been docked 10 percent of their match fees and captain Rahul Dravid 20 percent for slow over rates during the first One-day International against Pakistan in Peshawar on Monday.

Match referee Chris Broad imposed the fines after India were two overs slower than the required rate in the 50-over match.

Pakistan won the first one-dayer by seven runs under the Duckworth Lewis scoring system after replying with 311 for seven off 47 overs, to India’s 328, when the umpires stopped play due to worsening light.—Reuters
