ICC Fines Pakistan, Bangladesh for Slow Over-Rates

Bangladesh celebrated a historic 10-wicket victory over Pakistan in the first Test at Rawalpindi, only to face penalties from the ICC for slow over-rates shortly after. Both teams were fined, with Bangladesh losing 15% of their match fee and 3 WTC points, while Pakistan faced a 30% fine and a loss of 6 points. As a result, Pakistan slid to eighth place in the WTC standings, and Bangladesh dropped to seventh, now behind South Africa. Both captains accepted the sanctions, which were imposed due to their team's failure to maintain the required over-rate during the match. Additionally, Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan received a separate fine for an inappropriate action during the game. The next Test between the two teams is set to commence soon in Rawalpindi.
