Australian superstar Ellyse Perry has been hit with a one-match WBBL ban for slow over rates following the Sydney Sixers' loss in the competition decider.
The Sixers' captain will miss the first game of the next WBBL season after receiving a third strike from officials for slow over rates.
The Sydney franchise were deemed to be one over behind the expected rate in their final loss to the Adelaide Strikers last month.
Perry and Sixers hierarchy have opted not to challenge the penalty.
The Sixers suffered a 10-run defeat in the decider at North Sydney Oval after finishing the regular season on top of the ladder.
The legendary allrounder is currently in India as the Australia team prepares for a five-game Twenty20 series starting in Mumbai on Friday.
