South Africa batsman Rilee Rossouw was fined 50 percent of his match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the second one-day International against Bangladesh on Sunday.

Rossouw made inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with his shoulder against Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal after he was dismissed on 5.

He pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted the penalty without the need for a formal hearing.

Bangladesh won the match by seven wickets to level the three-match series 1-1.

The deciding match is on Wednesday in Chittagong.
