India penalised for slow over-rate in tri-series opener
The sanction was imposed by Vanessa de Silva from the ICC International Panel of Match Referees after India were found to be one over short of the required rate, even after considering the applicable time allowances.
The fine is in line with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with minimum over-rate violations. As per the regulations, teams are penalized 5% of their match fee for each over that is not completed in the allotted time.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur accepted responsibility for the offence and agreed to the proposed sanction, making a formal hearing unnecessary.
The charge was brought forward by on-field umpires Anna Harris and Nimali Perera, with support from third umpire Lyndon Hannibal and fourth umpire Dedunu de Silva.
A powerful all-round performance from India, led by Sneh Rana's three-wicket haul and Pratika Rawal's unbeaten half-century in the 148-run chase saw India cruise through to a nine-wicket win in the contest.

Pakistan to play in Colombo when India hosts Women's World Cup
Pakistan will play all their women's 50-over World Cup matches in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo when India hosts this year's tournament, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Monday. Politically-estranged India and Pakistan, who have not played a bilateral series since 2013, will play their matches in neutral venues when either country hosts an ICC event, the sport's global governing body announced in December. "The venues for the knockouts are dependent on Pakistan qualifying as two alternative venues have been identified for one semifinal and the final," the ICC said. "Colombo will be the venue for the first semifinal and the final only if Pakistan qualify for those stages." Bengaluru, where the tournament will start with India playing in the opening match, will host the final on November 2 if Pakistan are knocked out earlier in the tournament, the ICC added. Bengaluru will also stage the second semifinal on October 30, a day after the first semifinal in Colombo or Guwahati. Visakhapatnam and Indore are the two other host cities for the eight-team tournament. India played all their matches in Dubai when Pakistan hosted the men's Champions Trophy this year, including the final which they won. Both the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League were suspended last month amid clashes between the two countries following an attack targeting tourists that killed 26 people in Kashmir in April. Matches resumed after a ceasefire was announced. The neutral venue arrangement between the countries will also be in place for the men's T20 World Cup in 2026, which India will co-host with Sri Lanka, and the women's T20 World Cup in 2028 in Pakistan.
