Sri Lanka have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against South Africa in the Match 4 of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup on Saturday, 7 October 2023.

JavagalSrinath of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after DasunShanaka’s side was ruled to be 2 over(s) 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 5 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.

DasunShanaka pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Richard Illingworth and ShahidSaikat, third umpire Michael Gough and fourth umpire Alex Wharf leveled the charge. (ICC)

After bowling too slowly, and then not managing to even bat out the overs, you say it's insult? SLC even donating 10 million to 18 year old runner, but they forget cricket, SLC chase after for love or thanks any young woman, now that's injury for Sri Lankan cricket.

At the next match try to play with Nissanka and Dananya as opener. If dananjya fails better to rest him for odi in future as he is not playing his role at number 6. Drop Matheesha or Rajitha as both are less effective as ballers on these pitches. Instead bring in another batter. Use Dananjaya and Asalanka to complete that gap. Also include Lahiru as his pace will help to get few wickets. In future don't pickup too many wicketkeepers to the playing eleven as this hampers the balance. You should look for batters who can ball a bit as well. Think about Aravinda, Sanath, Dilshan,Arjuna,Hashan and even Arnold were great player who were able to contribute with ball as well. Now look at this team Three wicket keepers are playing and this balance is gone. Look to develop Sahan Arachchige and players like Ashen Bandara as they are good with ball too. Why Sahan was dropped after qualifiers. He got a fifty in that final and was a key player. They could have included him instead of Hemantha.

I wonder if the hammering received and time spent on retrieving the ball was factored into the computation.

Why should SL be fined for slow over rate? There were an incredible amount of boundaries hit during the SA innings and each time the ball had to be fetched (especially when hit for six) and that takes time. Why should the bowling side be penalised for that? ICC needs a little common sense.

Hey there, guys, what's happening? Did you all develop a sudden fondness for a certain green herb? It almost seems like Diana herself made an appearance and generously shared some export quality herbal delights with you all!

The only way for Sri Lanka to win a World Cup is for the team to declare they are transgender and play for the women's team.

Poor team selection,and Selectors. It's not only muscle, there has to be Experience and Brain.Poor or selfish captaincy. After all this is not a domestic tournament.

Sri Lanka winning is the unusual thing. With a society so permissive of corruption, all what you say is to be expected.
