The problems for Sri Lanka are never ending. After losing the 2nd ODI and the series to India despite being in a strong position, ICC on Thursday announced that the hosts were been fined 20 per cent of their match fees for maintaining a slow over-rate against India in Colombo on Tuesday. Consequently, Sri Lanka will lose one point from their points tally during the Super League," ICC said in a release. ICC also announced that there won't be any official hearing as Sri Lanka captain Shanaka pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction. Sri Lanka will again face India in the third and final ODI hoping to avoid a whitewash on Friday.
