Johannesburg - New Zealand hero Jesse Ryder has been fined for breaking a chair after being dismissed during a 38-run Champions Trophy victory over Sri Lanka on Sunday.
An International Cricket Council (ICC) statement said the opening batsman who made 74 runs in a 50-over total of 315-7 struck and broke a chair with his bat when walking to the pavilion.
He will be fined 15% of his match fee for breaching the ICC code of conduct after apologising for his behaviour soon after the match at the Wanderers ended.
Ryder batted while struggling with a hamstring problem and is unlikely to take any further part in the tournament for the Black Caps, who have already lost bowler Jacob Oram to injury.
New Zealand complete their Group B schedule on Tuesday against England at the same venue and will be guaranteed a place in the knockout phase of the four-million-dollar competition if they win.
