Slow going earns Dinesh, Faf ban
Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal and South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis were suspended for one Twenty20 match after their sides were charged for slow over-rates for the second time within 12 months, the ICC said Friday.
It was both captains' second offence in the same format, as South Africa were fined for being two overs short against New Zealand on Monday while Sri Lanka were short by one over against New Zealand in Pallekele in November last year, the International Cricket Council said.
The ICC match referee David Boon of Australia imposed the suspensions and penalties after both sides were ruled to be one over short of their targets at the end of their matches in Chittagong on Thursday.
Sri Lanka lost to England by six wickets while South Africa pulled off a dramatic six run victory over the Netherlands -- both matches in Chittagong.
