In addition, one demerit point was added to Mitchells disciplinary record.

On the third day of the match, in the 62nd over of West Indies first innings, West Indies captain Jason Holder was running between wickets and passed close to Mitchell, who uttered an obscenity.

New Zealand-based match referee Jeff Crowe imposed the penalty. Mitchell pleaded guilty without a need for a formal hearing.
