India have had 40 per cent of their total match fee deducted for a slow over-rate during the fourth T20 international against New Zealand in Wellington.

The ICC adjudged that Virat Kohli's side were two overs adrift of the target after time allowances were taken into account.

Governing body rules state that players lose 20% of their match fee for every over a team fails to bowl in the allotted time.

Captain Kohli did not object to the charge, meaning no hearing was required.

The fine is a small price to pay for an India side who beat the Kiwis in a second straight super over to go 4-0 up in the five-match series at Westpac Stadium.

Needing seven from the final over, New Zealand lost four wickets to ensure the game was tied in regulation play.

It ensured that the result would be determined by a super over, after the match in Hamilton went a similar way.

The Black Caps set a target of 14 to win, which India, thanks to another Kohli masterclass eased to with a ball to spare.

It was the sixth time in a row New Zealand have lost a white-ball fixture in overtime, a run which includes their World Cup final defeat at the hands of England.
