Pakistan was fined 20% of its match fees for a slow over-rate against Sri Lanka after winning their first one-day international.

Match referee Ali Naqvi imposed the sanction on Thursday after Pakistan was found four overs short of the target on Tuesday after time allowances were considered.

Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi pleaded guilty to the offense, the ICC said.

Pakistan won by six runs to open the three-match series.
