Dubai [UAE], April 1 (ANI): The Pakistan Cricket Team has been levied 10 per cent of the match fee after being found two overs short of the required target by the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees on Tuesday.

As per the ICC, in accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, players are penalized five percent of their match fee for each over their side fails to bowl within the allotted time.

Rizwan accepted the sanction and pleaded guilty to the offence, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.
