India were docked one point from their World Test Championship points tally for maintaining slow over-rate during their first Test victory at the SuperSport Park in Centurion last month.
India were also fined 20 per cent of their match fee for the over-rate offence in Centurion. The visitors collected 12 points after their historic win at the iconic venue but they will lose a point for being one over short of the target, according to Article 16.11 of the ICC Men’s World Test Championship Playing Conditions.
This is India’s first over-rate offence in the ongoing World Test Championship cycle. India are currently at the 4th spot with 53 points and PCT of 63.09 behind Australia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan having lost 1, drawn 2 and won 4 Tests.
Andrew Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after India was one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
