MS Dhoni suspended for one ODI

According to ICC’s media release India were ruled to be two overs short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.

“As this was India’s second minor over-rate offence after it was fined for a slow over-rate in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 final against Sri Lanka in Mumbai on 2 April, Dhoni has also been suspended from India’s next game on Tuesday against Sri Lanka in Brisbane,” the ICC said in a statement.

40 percent fine on Dhoni

Andy Pycroft of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed a 40 per cent fine on Dhoni while each of his players received 20 percent fines.

The charge was laid by on-field umpires Steve Davis and Billy Bowden as well as third umpire Bruce Oxenford and fourth umpire Paul Reiffel.

Dhoni and his team accepted penalties

Dhoni and his team had accepted the penalties so there was no need for a formal hearing.

Dhoni was also banned for the fourth and final test against Australia last month for the same offence.
