Following an in-game penalty for slow over-rate in the last ODI, Sri Lanka’s players were also fined 20% of their match fees for not completing their bowling innings on time.

In addition, the team’s top-scorer on Sunday, Pathum Nissanka, was handed a demerit point for using inappropriate language which was caught by the stump mic.

When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points. Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first
