Pakistan cricket team is not taking the name of ending the bad days. After losing in the first round of the Champions Trophy, this team lost the T20 series against New Zealand and now he also lost the first match of the ODI series. Pakistan's team has now suffered another setback. Pakistan's team has been found guilty of breaking the ICC rule and captain Rizwan has accepted the mistake. As a result, the Pakistani team has also been punished. Let me tell you that in the first ODI against New Zealand, Pakistan cricket team has been fined for slowing down on the Pakistan cricket team. The team will have to pay 10% of its match fees as fine.

Pakistan team made mistake

Pakistan's team, which was captained by Mohammad Rizwan, could not complete the bowling within the stipulated time. The match referee Jeff Crow (member of the Elite Panel of ICC) found that Pakistan had put 2 overs less as per the scheduled time. According to ICC rules, if a team does not bowl on time, then 5% of the match fees of the players is deducted for each over. Since Pakistan put 2 overs low, 10% fine was imposed. Rizwan accepted the fine and accepted his mistake, which did not cause any formal hearing.
