Player Support Personnel: West Indies have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for falling two overs short of the required rate, after time allowances were accounted for, during the fourth T20I against Australia in St. Kitts on Sunday.
"In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time," the ICC said in a statement.
Captain Shai Hope accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC match officials, avoiding the need for a formal hearing.
West Indies are yet to register a win on Australia's current inbound tour, having suffered a 3-0 defeat in the Test series and now trailing 4-0 in the T20I leg.
The T20Is have been high-scoring encounters, with Australia successfully chasing down targets in excess of 200 in each of the last two games.
The hosts were undone by a Tim David blitz in the third match, with the batter smashing the fastest T20I century by an Australian.
