ICC match referee Andy Pycroft imposed the fine after Markram’s side was ruled to be one over short of their target in yesterday’s match, when time allowances were taken into consideration.

Markram and the rest of the South Africa players were guilty of breaching Article 2.5.1 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Players Support Personnel, which relates to minor over-rate offences. The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Aleem Dar and Bongani Jele, third umpire Ian Gould, and fourth umpire Shaun George.

If South Africa commit another minor over-rate breach in an ODI within 12 months of this offence with Markram as captain, it will be deemed a second offence by Markram and he will face a suspension.

South Africa stayed alive in the six-match ODI series with a wonderful display in the Pink ODI in Johannesburg. After Shikhar Dhawan’s century boosted India to 289/7, rain curtailed South Africa’s chase and they got over the line by five wickets via D/L method thanks to attacking knocks from David Miller and Heinrich Klassen.

The next ODI is on Tuesday at Port Elizabeth and South Africa, trailing the series 1-3, will be determined to stay alive.
