South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for dissent during his side's World T20 Super 10 win over Sri Lanka.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) have imposed the sanction after du Plessis showed dissent by "occupying the crease for a period of time" after being given out lbw before leaving the field while looking at his bat and shaking his head.
It is Du Plessis' second punishment for dissent in 12 months, after he was fined 15 per cent of his match fee during a fixture against India in a one-day international in October.
A third offence over the next seven months will result in a suspension for the 31-year-old.
South Africa failed to reach the World Twenty20 semi-finals, losing a thrilling decisive match to the West Indies by three wickets.
