The Indian Cricket team has been fined 20 per cent of its match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against New Zealand in the fifth and final Twenty20 International in Mount Maunganui.
 
Chris Broad of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after India were ruled to be one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.

India stand-in captain Rohit Sharma pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction.

This is the second successive time that Virat Kohli's men have been fined for slow over-rate. On Saturday, the Indian team was docked 40 per cent of its match fee after falling short of the target by two overs in the fourth T20 International at the Westpack Stadium.
