27 Mar, 2011

New Zealand's Kyle Mills and Daniel Vettori and South African Faf du Plessis have been heavily fined for an altercation during Friday's World Cup quarter-final in Dhaka, the ICC said on Saturday. Mills has been fined 120 percent of his match fee for "inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players" and for conduct that is "contrary to the spirit of the game".
His captain Vettori has been fined 90 percent match fee for the deliberate physical contact with a player and for bringing the game into disrepute. Du Plessis has been fined 50 percent of his match fee for his involvement in the heated exchange with the Kiwi players, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement. After the 28th over of the South African innings, du Plessis had a heated exchange with some of the New Zealand players following the fall of a wicket. Mills was found guilty after Mahanama heard oral submissions from the player and the match officials and considered video evidence of the incident.
