Sri Lanka have been fined 40 per cent of their match fees for maintaining a slow over-rate against the West Indies in the third ODI in Antigua on Sunday, the ICC said.
Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after Dimuth Karunaratne’s side was ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined 20 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
In addition, as per Article 12.9.1 of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League Playing Conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short.
Consequently, Sri Lanka will lose two points from their points tally during the Super League. Karunaratne pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka all-rounder Danushka Gunathilaka has been reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the same match. Gunathilaka was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Gunathilaka, for whom it was the first offence in a period of 24 months.
The incident occurred in the 35th over of West Indies’ innings, when Gunathilaka used inappropriate language towards Nicholas Pooran upon his dismissal.
Gunathilaka admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by the match referee and as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Joel Wilson and Leslie Reifer, third umpire Gregory Brathwaite and fourth umpire Nigel Duguid leveled the charges.

Inappropriate language is not acceptable, particularly when not provoked. Forget about all and get ready for the tests to apply concentration to build up a formidable score by without playing rash strokes.

Honestly because of their poor performance to lose to a bottom team in the World T20 table, all the players are liable for a fine and no payments should be given to them.

Very bad performance by our SL guys, shame of them and their selectors. Immediately our T20 team should be re-shuffled and a new young team should be selected.

Actually, SL team is professionally incompetent, this what happens when a joker is appointed as sports minister
