When Trinbago Knight Riders were behind the required over rate at the start of each of their last three overs while bowling against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, the red card was used for the first time which led Trinbago Knight Riders had to lose Sunil Narine in the last over.
The slow over-rate penalties
- If behind the required over rate at the start of the 18th over, one additional player must enter the fielding circle - for a total of five players inside the circle
- If behind the rate at the start of the 19th over, two additional fielders must enter the fielding circle - for a total of six inside the circle
- If behind the rate at the start of the final over, teams will lose a player from the field - selected by the captain - and have six inside the fielding circle
- There will also be an onus on batting teams to keep the game moving. After a first and final warning from the umpires, the batting team will be slapped with a five-run penalty for each instance of time wasting.
