ICC Elite Panel: Pakistan have been penalised five percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against New Zealand in the second ODI held at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
The visitors were previously fined ten percent of their match fee for the same slow over-rate offence in the ODI series opener, which they lost by 73 runs to the Black Caps at McLean Park in Napier.
Jeff Crowe of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after Pakistan was found to be one over short of the target after the time allowances were taken into consideration in the second ODI, which the visitors lost by 84 runs to give New Zealand a series win at home.
