India and West Indies fined for slow over-rates in 3rd ODI at Mullanpur

Both India and West Indies incurred financial penalties following the conclusion of their final fifty-over fixture in New Chandigarh. Match official Prakash Bhatt levied fines after determining that both squads failed to maintain the required bowling speed, with on-field umpires Jayaraman Madanagopal and Sam Nogajski alongside colleagues Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid and Virender Sharma logging the infractions.

India fell four overs shy of the target, leading to a twenty percent reduction in their match earnings, whereas the visiting side missed the deadline by two overs and forfeited ten percent of their pay. Team leaders from both camps admitted to the miscalculation immediately, bypassing a formal tribunal.

In the match itself, the hosts posted a competitive target of 351 runs for the loss of seven wickets, but the visitors successfully chased down the objective with five wickets in hand to conclude the series on a triumphant note.
