Pakistan docked WTC points for slow over-rate in the 1st Test in Mirpur vs Bangladesh
The Pakistan cricket team dealt with another blow in their ongoing away Test series against Bangladesh as the ICC has docked WTC points for slow over-rate in their first Test match in Mirpur.
Pakistan were off to a nightmare start in their tour of Bangladesh as they went down by 104 runs in the first match of the series against the hosts.
It was an utter humiliation for Pakistan, who lost 10 wickets on the final day and meekly surrendered against a spirited Bangladesh side.
Now, a day before the second Test kicks off, ICC have decided to dock eight points from their World Test Championship 2025-27 tally and fined the team 40 per cent of their match fee.
