Pakistan fined for third straight slow over-rate in final New Zealand ODI
Pakistan's national cricket team has been fined for a third consecutive slow over-rate offence during the recently concluded ODI series against New Zealand, compounding the disappointment of a 3-0 series defeat. The latest penalty was handed down following the third and final ODI at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on April 5, where the Mohammad Rizwan-led side was found to be one over short of the target after time allowances. The players have been docked five percent of their match fees under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which addresses minimum over-rate requirements. The sanction was imposed by match referee Jeff Crowe of the ICC Elite Panel after the over-rate violation was confirmed by on-field umpires Chris Brown and Paul Reiffel, along with third umpire Michael Gough and fourth umpire Wayne Knights. Captain Mohammad Rizwan accepted the charge, avoiding the need for a formal hearing. This marks the third fine for Pakistan in as many matches during the ODI leg of the tour, highlighting ongoing concerns about the team's match discipline. The punishment also comes on the heels of a poor overall performance by the Men in Green, who ended the tour with just one win across eight matches—losing the T20I series 4-1 and suffering a 3-0 whitewash in the ODIs. Pakistan's only victory came in the second T20I, thanks to a brilliant century from Hasan Nawaz. In contrast, the ODI series saw no standout batting performances, as Pakistan failed to mount a serious challenge in any of the three matches. The repeated over-rate infractions raise further questions about the team's on-field management and tactical execution as they prepare for upcoming international commitments.

Pakistan end home Champions Trophy without win
Pakistan ended their campaign in the home Champions Trophy without a win after rain washed out their dead rubber against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday. The Group A match between the two eliminated sides was of little consequence and steady drizzle poured cold water on defending champions Pakistan's hopes of a consolation victory. Tuesday's Group B fixture between Australia and South Africa at the same venue was also abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain. It has been a forgettable campaign for Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan in the first global tournament to be staged in the country since 1996 and their six-wicket defeat by arch-rivals India will particularly hurt. "The expectations are very high. We didn't perform well and it is disappointing for us," Rizwan said. "We made mistakes in the last few games. Hopefully, we can learn from these. We are next going to New Zealand and hopefully we can perform there." Bangladesh also finished their winless campaign with a point. "We really wanted to play this match, but can't do anything about the weather," Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said. He drew positives from the display of their pace trio Nahid Rana, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman. "We have always struggled with our fast bowling unit, but in the last few years a lot of fast bowlers are coming through," Shanto said. "The likes of Taskin and Rana coming in and 'Fizz' is there. We have a very good bowling attack." India and New Zealand, who meet in an inconsequential group match in Dubai on Sunday, have secured semi-final places from Group A.
