Sindh have been fined PKR 20,000 for maintaining a slow over-rate during their Pakistan Cup semi-final match against Central Punjab at the State Bank Stadium on Friday.
Sindh were two overs short of their target after taking into account time allowances and, as such, were charged under Article 2.22 of the PCB Code of Conduct for Players and Players Support Personnel that deals with minimum over-rate offences.
Sindh captain Asad Shafiq pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Iqbal Sheikh.
The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Faisal Afridi and Waleed Yaqub.

It oversees and organizes all tours and matches for the Pakistan national cricket team. A member of the International Cricket Council since 1952, the PCB represents Pakistan’s men’s and women’s teams in international cricket tournaments.
