Sri Lanka cricket has sent their team for a five-match-long white-ball series, three of which will be T20Is that would mark their preparations ahead of the Asia Cup, as they have been claimed to be one of the favourites in the Asian competition despite the presence of World Champions India.
The Lankans were penalized 5% of their match fees for having maintained a slow over-rate in the first ODI at Harare. There was no need for a formal hearing on the matter, as the Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka pled guilty and accepted the proposed sanction.
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 percent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
Dilshan Madushanka's hat-trick changed the course of the high-scoring thriller
With only ten runs needed in the final over of the game, Madushanka came in to grab three wickets off the first three balls to tilt the game in favour of the Lankans.
