India, West Indies fined for slow over-rates in third ODI

India and West Indies have been fined for maintaining slow over-rates during the third and final ODI of their series in New Chandigarh on Saturday.

India were fined 20 per cent of their match fee, while West Indies were penalised 10 per cent after falling four and two overs short of their required over-rates, respectively, after time allowances were taken into consideration, according to the ICC website.

Prakash Bhatt of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanctions. Both captains pleaded guilty to the offences and accepted the proposed sanctions, meaning formal hearings were not required.

The charges were brought by on-field umpires Jayaraman Madanagopal and Sam Nogajski, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Virender Sharma.

West Indies had already lost the three-match series 2-0 before entering the final ODI but finished the ODI leg of their India tour on a historic note in New Chandigarh.

Powered by an unbeaten 162 from Shai Hope, West Indies successfully chased down 352 to record their highest successful run chase in men's ODIs.

The two teams will now turn their attention to the five-match T20I series, which begins on 6 October.
