Scotland fined for slow over-rate at cricket World Cup

Scotland has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during their Pool A match against Afghanistan in the ICC Cricket World Cup at Dunedin in New Zealand. Scotland skipper Preston Mommsen was fined 20 per cent of his fees, while 10 per cent fine was imposed on the rest of the players after ICC Match Referee David Boon found them one over short in the stipulated time. In a release, ICC said, if captain Mommsen is found guilty of one more minor over-rate offence during the ICC Cricket World Cup while acting as captain, he will receive a one-match suspension during the event. ICC said, Mommsen pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there is no need for a formal hearing.
