India's ODI captain MS Dhoni and Bangladesh's debutant Mustafizur Rahman have been fined for their collision during the first ODI in Mirpur.

Dhoni has been docked 75% of his match fee, and the Man-of-the-Match Mustafizur will take home only half the fee from his first ODI.

The incident occurred in the 25th over of India's innings when Dhoni set off on a single after playing the ball to mid-off.

Mustafizur, a left-arm bowler bowling from over the wicket, appeared to have glanced at the batsman and then moved in the line of his running.

The India captain ran into Mustafizur during the run, and appeared to shove him out of his way with his forearm. Mustafizur left the field for a bit before returning to complete a five-for on debut.

Earlier in the innings Mustafizur was involved in a similar incident with Rohit Sharma, but the collision then was softer although Rohit was seen pointing his finger at the bowler.
