Pakistan Fined for Slow Over-Rate After Winning ODI Tri-Series Final
Pakistan was fined five percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate during the final of the ODI Tri-Series against Sri Lanka in Lahore. The team was one over short of the required rate, leading to the penalty under ICC regulations. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi accepted the sanction, avoiding a formal hearing. Despite the fine, Pakistan secured a thrilling three-wicket victory chasing 326 runs, with Fakhar Zaman scoring 127, to clinch the tri-series title.
