March 17, 2004 19:09 IST
Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq has been fined 80 percent of his match fee for slow over rate in Tuesday's 12-run victory over India in the second one-day international in Rawalpindi.
Inzamam and Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly had both been fined 20 percent of their fees by match referee Ranjan Madugalle for slow over rates in the first match at Karachi last week.
"The match referee has imposed a level two offence on the Pakistan team," team manager Haroon Rashid said.
The rest of the team has been fined 30 percent of their match fees after Pakistan were judged to be three overs behind schedule in Rawalpindi.
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC) rule on over rates, a level two offence could lead to the skipper being suspended or given a large fine.
"The match referee decided to go for a fine because it was Inzamam's first level two offence," Rashid said.
The five-match one-day series is tied 1-1.
