Afghanistan fined 25 per cent of match fee for slow over-rate in Harare Test

Dubai: Afghanistan’s innings defeat to Zimbabwe in Harare came with an added penalty, as the team was fined 25 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate in the one-off Test that ended on Wednesday.

Richie Richardson of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after Afghanistan were found to be five overs short of their target, even after time allowances were taken into account. IANS
