South Africa penalised for slow over rate during third England ODI

The Proteas have been fined 20 per cent of their match fee and docked one point in the ongoing Cricket World Cup Super League

South Africa have been penalised for maintaining a slow over rate during the third ODI against England.

Temba Bavuma's side suffered a 59-run defeat in Kimberley, with centuries for Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan and a six-for for Jofra Archer. However, the result didn't stop South Africa from completing a 2-1 series win.

For being one over behind the allotted time, the Proteas have been fined 20 per cent of their match fee.

They have also been docked one point in the ongoing Cricket World Cup Super League.

On-field umpires Allahudien Paleker and Marais Erasmus, third umpire Adrian Holdstock, and fourth umpire Bongani Jele levelled the charges, which Bavuma accepted.

Under article 2.2 of the ICC code of conduct, players lose 20 per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
