The World Test Championship (WTC) final saw Australia thrashing India on the fifth day, defeating them with a huge margin of 209 runs to lift the maze on Friday at The Oval in London. Unfortunately, both teams have been fined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for slow over-rate.
The ICC declared that none of the players from the Indian team will receive their match fee. Meanwhile, the Australian team has been fined 80% of their match fee for slow over-rate.
The Indian team reduced five overs, while the Australian team reduced four overs within the allotted time. According to ICC regulations, every player is fined for a slow over rate, with 20% of the match fee being imposed for each over.
In addition, Indian opener Shubman Gill has also been fined. Gill criticized the umpire’s decision after getting out.
Shubman Gill has been found guilty of violating ICC Article 2.4, resulting in a fine of 15% of the match fee.
