Pakistan have been fined once again for a slow over-rate, this time during their second ODI against New Zealand in Hamilton on Wednesday. Match referee Jeff Crowe imposed a five per cent match fee penalty after Pakistan fell one over short of the target, even after time allowances were considered.
Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the sanction, eliminating the need for a formal hearing, the ICC confirmed on Thursday.

This marks the second consecutive match where Pakistan have been penalised for a slow over-rate.
In the first ODI in Napier, the visitors were found to be two overs short and were fined 10 per cent of their match fees after losing by 73 runs.
Trailing 1-0 in the series, Pakistan suffered another heavy defeat in Hamilton, losing by 84 runs. Mitchell Hay's career-best 99 powered New Zealand to 292/8, while Ben Sears' five-wicket haul (5/59) dismantled Pakistan’s chase, despite late resistance from Faheem Ashraf (73) and Naseem Shah (51).
The final ODI of the series is set for Saturday in Mount Maunganui, where Pakistan will aim to avoid both another fine and a series whitewash.
