(Reuters) - Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal will miss the team's next two Twenty20 internationals after being found guilty of a serious over-rate offence during Saturday's victory over Bangladesh, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Sunday.

Sri Lanka were four overs short of their target within the allocated time, leading to the players being fined 60 percent of their match fees while Chandimal received two suspension points, in accordance with ICC regulations.
