BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, March 29 - The Indian team has been fined for a slow over-rate during their 69-run World Cup defeat to Sri Lanka in last match of Group B in Trinidad, an International Cricket Council (ICC) statement on Thursday said.
The defeat effectively sealed India's elimination after they had earlier been beaten by Bangladesh in the group.
Match referee Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fines after Rahul Dravid's side was ruled to be one over short of their target at the end of the Sri Lankan innings in the match on March 23.
Dravid has been fined 10 per cent of his match fee while his players have each received five per cent fines.
Under ICC rules, players were fined five per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time with captain Dravid fined double that amount.
