Match Referee Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel imposed a five per cent fine on each player's match fee, after Shai Hope's team was found to be one over short of the required target at the end of the innings, once time allowances were taken into consideration.

The penalty is in line with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences. As per ICC regulations, players are fined five percent of their match fee for each over their side who fails to bowl within the allotted time.
West Indies captain Shai Hope accepted the sanction to the offence, with a formal hearing not deemed necessary. The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Martin Saggers, along with third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd.
