West Indies have now been penalised 40% of their match fees for sustaining a sluggish over-rate after losing the ODI series decider to New Zealand by five wickets and losing the series 2-1 at the Kensington Oval.
Players are penalised 20% of their match fees for each over their team fails to bowl in the permitted time, in accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which addresses minimum over-rate offences.
A side is also docked one point for each over that is short according to Article 16.12.2 of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League Playing Conditions. As a result, West Indies will subtract two points from their overall Super League score.
Nicholas Pooran's team was found to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into account, thus Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees assessed the punishment.
No formal hearing was required because Pooran admitted guilt and agreed to the suggested punishment. The accusation was levelled by the on-field umpires Joel Wilson and Leslie Reifer, third umpire Gregory Brathwaite, and fourth umpire Nigel Duguid.
As New Zealand successfully chased down 302 in 47.1 overs, West Indies opener Kyle Mayers' impressive century for his team was in vain. This was made possible by outstanding batting from Martin Guptill, Devon Conway, Tom Latham, and Daryl Mitchell.
West Indies made 301-8 in their 50 overs after being forced to bat first. Mayers hit 105 off 111 balls while Pooran made a quick-fire 91 off 55 balls.
