Go-slow India face fine after Kolkata win
India will be fined for slow over-rate during their 22-run victory over England in the first one-day game on Saturday, match referee Denis Lindsay said on Monday.
The International Cricket Council official said the size of the fine had yet to be fixed.
India, who scored 281, bowled out England for 259 in 44 overs in Kolkata but were about three or four overs behind the clock. Teams are usually penalised five percent of the match fees per over.
England were also penalised one over for poor over-rate during their defeat at Eden Gardens.
The second game of the six-match series will be played in Cuttack on Tuesday.
