The Indian women's cricket team has been fined five percent of their match fees for maintaining a slow over-rate during their Women's ODI World Cup match against Australia in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, where they lost by three wickets in a high-scoring contest.
The decision came after India was found to be one over short of the target after considering time allowances during the match. Team captain Harmanpreet Kaur accepted the sanction and pleaded guilty to the offense.
