Pakistan Slammed for Slow Over Rate | Dubai News

Pakistan’s cricket team is facing serious consequences after falling dangerously behind on overs during their Test match against England, resulting in a 50% fine on match fees and an 11-point deduction from the World Test Championship standings — now languishing at ninth place with just a 4.63% points percentage. Captain Babar Azam and the squad are squarely in the spotlight as ICC match referees enforce strict code-of-conduct penalties for slow over rates, capped at half-match fees per over missed. With a string of losses and off-field turmoil already plaguing their campaign, Pakistan’s next shot at redemption comes in November against Sri Lanka — hoping to finally turn things around and climb the rankings.
