India have been fined five percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate during their ICC Women's World Cup match against Australia in Visakhapatnam on Sunday (October 12). The defending champions chased down India's 330 with an over and three wickets to spare.

India were found to be one over short of their target once time allowances were taken into account. The sanction was imposed by Michell Periera of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees.

As per Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel - which deals with minimum over-rate offences - players are fined five percent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl within the stipulated time. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, meaning no formal hearing was required

The charge was leveled by on-field umpires Sue Redfern and Nimali Perera, along with third umpire Kim Cotton and fourth umpire Jacquline Williams.
