Mathews Fined For Slow Over Rate

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has been fined 20% of his match fee, and his team 10%, for being found one over short of their target during the third ODI against Zimbabwe. If Sri Lanka, under Mathews, commit another over-rates breach within the next 12 months, Mathews will face a suspension.

This is Sri Lanka's second over-rates offence in six matches. Acting captain Upul Tharanga had been suspended for two games after the team was found to be four overs short of their target in a Champions Trophy match last month.

On this occasion, Mathews pleaded guilty to the charge, so no formal hearing was required.
