Babar Azam-led Pakistan's disappointing campaign in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 faced a major setback as they struggled to confirm a berth in ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal.

ICC penalised Pakistan for a slow over-rate in PAK vs SA WC match in Chennai on Friday (October 28). Pakistan were found to be four overs behind the allotted pace.

ICC fined Pakistan 20 percent of their match fee; means that Pakistan players will incur a 5 % match fee penalty for each over not bowled within the stipulated time.

The charges were issued by umpires following Pakistan's defeat against South Africa. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam accepted the sanction.

Pakistan have so far won just two out of six matches in ODI World Cup 2023.

Pakistan need to win their remaining three WC matches and that too by a big margin to remain alive in the race to ODI World Cup 2023 semifinal.
