Dhoni crashes into Bangladesh quick

India one-day skipper MS Dhoni and Bangladesh tyro Mustafizur Rahman have both been fined by the International Cricket Council following their mid-pitch collision in Thursday night's one-day international, with the Indian skipper coming in for admonishment by the ICC's Match Referee.

Dhoni has been fined 75 per cent of his match fee for the incident, while Mustafizur has been docked half of his fee.

Dhoni and debutant left-armer Mustafizur collided in the 25th over as India's skipper was running to the danger end on a quick single.

The impact jarred the bowler and drew a quick rebuke from Dhoni before umpires quickly intervened to ensure things remained cool on the field. Dhoni then turned away with a smile.

The impact forced Mustafizur to temporarily leave the field and seek treatment, however he was able to return and inspire his side to an important victory that continued Bangladesh's impressive recent form in the 50-over game.

Match Referee Andy Pycroft imposed the fines after dismissing Dhoni's version of events and saying an experienced Indian skipper should have done more to avoid the collision.

"In the hearing, Dhoni defended the charge on the basis that the bowler was on the wrong line and realising he couldn't avoid the collision, he used his hand and arm to push him away as he went through to 'minimse the impact'," Pycroft said.

"However, my assessment was that Dhoni deliberately pushed and shouldered Mustafizur, which was inappropriate.

"Even if there was a narrow gap between the runner (Suresh Raina) and the bowler, an experienced Dhoni should have tried to avoid the collision as cricket is a non-contact sport and the players are expected to avoid physical contact at all times.

"On this basis I fined Dhoni 75 per cent of his match fee."

Pycroft added that the Bangladeshi bowler had initally pleaded not guilty to the charge, but during the hearing admitted his guilt and accepted the sanction.

"Mustafizur was fined after he admitted that his actions in not getting out of the batsman's way were inappropriate and he should have done more to avoid contact," Pycroft said.

The 19-year-old left-armer had already taken he key wickets of Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane. And while Dhoni departed while he was off the ground in the 26th over, much to the delight of the partisan Mirpur crowd, Mustafizur returned to bag three more wickets.

His 5-50 in 9.2 overs helped inspire Bangladesh to a 79-run win at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

The win was especially important for Bangladesh in the context of the race for the 2017 Champions Trophy in England.

The victory saw Bangladesh (91 points) leapfrog West Indies (88) on the ICC rankings table, meaning Bangladesh could now qualify for the Champions Trophy ahead of either the Caribbean side or Pakistan (87) with just one win from their remaining five ODIs (two v India, three v South Africa) before this year's September 30 cut-off.

In their last eight matches, Bangladesh defeated England at the World Cup to knock out the Test-playing nation, reached the quarter-final stage of the World Cup and swept Pakistan 3-0 in a series before yesterday's defeat of India.
