( CNN ) -- Australia captain Ricky Ponting was reprimanded Wednesday by the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) for damaging a television after being dismissed at the World Cup . Ponting had made 28 in his side 's match against Zimbabwe at the Gujarat Stadium in Ahmedabad Monday when he was run out attempting a second run . Clearly angry with himself as he walked off , Ponting reacted with fury when he saw a replay of the incident on a television in the dressing room . He hurled a piece of his equipment which bounced off his kit bag and hit the corner of the LCD screen . Initial reports inaccurately claimed Ponting had smashed up the television with his bat , but the damage he caused did prompt an official complaint from the Gujarat Cricket Association . A statement released to CNN from the ICC , said Ponting had accepted a Level 1 charge , which carries a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of his match fee . `` Ricky knows that his action was in breach of the code , involving a brief moment of frustration , '' said match referee Roshan Mahanama . He added : `` It was clear that the damage he caused was purely accidental and without malice , he apologized shortly after the incident at the ground and immediately agreed to pay for the damage . '' Ponting was found to have breached an ICC rule which relates to `` abuse of cricket equipment or clothing , ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an international match '' . Despite the incident , Australia comfortably won their Group A opener by 91 runs as the 36-year-old Ponting bids to be the first man to captain a side to three straight World Cu triumphs . Australia play New Zealand in Nagpur Friday in their second group clash . In Wednesday 's action on the field , Pakistan crushed Kenya by 205 runs in Group A , recovering from the loss of two early wickets in Hambantota in Sri Lanka . Kenya did not assist their cause by conceding 46 extras as Pakistan scored 317 for 7 in their 50 overs with half centuries for Kamran Akmal , Younis Khan , Misbah-ul-Haq and Umar Akmal . Captain Shahid Afridi then took five wickets for 16 as Kenya crumbled to 112 all out for a second straight loss after going down by 10 wickets to New Zealand in their opener .
