March 12 (CRICKETNMORE) - Dinesh Chandimal has been suspended from Sri Lanka’s upcoming two Twenty20 Internationals in the three-nation series after being found guilty of a serious over-rate offence in Saturday’s match against Bangladesh at the R Premadasa Stadium.

Sri Lanka Cricket said yesterday that all-rounder Thisara Perera would lead the team in Chandimal’s absence for the next two matches against India today and Bangladesh on Friday.

Chris Broad of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fine after Chandimal’s side was ruled to be four overs short of their target when time allowances were taken into consideration.
