Proteas’ Du Plessis fined for dissent at World T20

SOUTH African skipper Faf du Plessis was fined yesterday by the International Cricket Council for showing dissent during his side’s win over Sri Lanka at the World Twenty20.

Du Plessis was fined 50 percent of his match fee for “occupying the crease for a period of time” after being given out leg before wicket, before leaving the field while shaking his head in Monday night’s match in New Delhi. It was the captain’s second fine for dissent in less than a year. He faces suspension if he commits a third offense before October, 12 months since the first, the ICC said in a statement yesterday. The 31-year-old, who has accepted the sanction, made 31 before being trapped lbw during South Africa’s consolation victory over Sri Lanka in the group stages. New Zealand takes on England in the first semifinal today in New Delhi, while India plays the West Indies tomorrow in Mumbai in the second.
