Last year, Australia was fined 40 per cent of its match fee and docked four WTC points for maintaining a slow over-rate against India in the Boxing Day Test at MCG. Australia was ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration. The over-rate fine ultimately led to Australia not making the cut for the WTC final.
