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 20 percent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
India opener Shubman Gill has also been fined 15 percent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct. His dismissal during India's chase sparked controversy as the catch taken by Cameron Green was adjudged out by the third umpire. Gill posted his displeasure of the decision on his official instagram account.
Gill was found to have breached Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an international match."
Gill has also been handed one demerit point.
