India lost the first match of the three-match series by one wicket. International Cricket Council (ICC) panel match referee Ranjan Madugalle imposed the penalty as India fell four overs short in the stipulated time. According to Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel relating to slow over rate, players are fined 20 per cent of their match fee per over for not completing an over in the stipulated time.
