Sharjah:Multan Sultans have been fined for two slow overs in their Pakistan Super League match against Peshawar Zalmi here at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

The team has breached article 2.5 of the PSL Code of Conduct for Player and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minor over-rate offences.

As this was Multan Sultans’ first offence, their captain Shoaib Malik and rest of his players have been fined 10 per cent each of their match fees. If Multan Sultans commit another slow over-rate offence, then each of their playing members will be fined 20 per cent of their match fees.

The charge has been sanctioned by match referee Roshan Mahanama, which was leveled by on-field umpires Ranmore Martinesz and Shozab Raza, third umpire Rashid Riaz and fourth umpire Tariq Rasheed.
