Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal had been fined for breaching the International Cricket Council (ICC) Code of Conduct during the third ODI in Mirpur.

Iqbal was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for verbally abusing Zimbabwe batsman Hamilton Masakadza during the fifth over of the match.

Masakadza meanwhile received an official reprimand for showing an indecent reaction towards the umpire after he was given out while batting.

Since Iqbal accepted his charge, it means that there will be no need for an official hearing.
