Read the October 19 Pakistan–Sri Lanka over-rate ruling precisely

The ICC's October 19 release records separate slow-over-rate findings for Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the opening Pakistan ODI Tri-Series match. The sanctions concern match fees and should not be converted into claims about the result, future form or a sportsbook's grading.

The ICC says Pakistan were two overs short and Sri Lanka one over short after allowances, with five per cent of match fee per missing over under Article 2.22. The captains accepted the sanctions.

Anchor the release to one match

Record the competition, opening-match description, location context and publication date supplied by the ICC. Do not merge it with another fixture involving the same teams.

Use an official scorecard for match-result facts. The release supports the named teams, percentages, procedural basis, match context and the fact that formal hearings were unnecessary after acceptance.

Pakistan's two-over finding and Sri Lanka's one-over finding produce different stated percentages. Write the figures on separate lines. Do not describe a combined penalty as though it belonged to one side.

Keep each team's finding separate

Do not describe a combined penalty as though it belonged to one side. It cannot predict the next match, change the score, establish player intent, set betting rules, prove a market was affected or provide a general ranking of the teams.

The release cites Article 2.22 and says the captains accepted the proposed sanctions. No formal hearing was required in the stated process. That procedural fact does not establish a broader admission about performance.

Read the procedural basis
