ICC said on Saturday that South Africa had been penalized 20% of their match money for India’s second ODI here due to their slow over-rate. Temba Bavuma’s side was penalized by match referee Andy Pycroft when time allowances were taken into account as they fell one over short of the goal. Players are penalized 20% of their match fee for every over their team fails to bowl in the permitted time in accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with minimum over-rate infractions,” the ICC stated in a release.
There was no need for a formal hearing because Bavuma pleaded guilty and accepted the recommended penalty.
Three-quarter umpire Bongani Jele and fourth-quarter umpire Allauhudien Palekar all defended their decisions following Friday’s game.
