New Delhi (AFP) - South African skipper Faf du Plessis was fined Tuesday by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for showing dissent during his side's win over Sri Lanka at the World Twenty20.
Du Plessis was fined 50 percent of his match fee for "occupying the crease for a period of time" after being given out lbw, before leaving the field while shaking his head in Monday night's match in New Delhi.
It was the captain's second fine for dissent in less than a year. He faces suspension if he commits a third offence before October, 12 months since the first, the ICC said in a statement on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old, who has accepted the sanction, made 31 before being trapped lbw during South Africa's consolation victory over Sri Lanka in the group stages.
The Proteas had already failed to reach the semi-finals going into Monday's match, their hopes once again dashed of winning a first World T20 title.
New Zealand take on England in the first semi-final on Wednesday in New Delhi, while India play the West Indies on Thursday in Mumbai in the second.
