NZ vs PAK: Pakistan has been penalized five percent of their match fee for having a slow over-rate against New Zealand in the third ODI in Mount Maunganui on Saturday, according to a press release from the ICC.
Jeff Crowe from the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees applied the penalty after it was determined that Mohammad Rizwan's team was one over short of the mark after accounting for time allowances.
