"(Match referee) Chris Broad imposed the fine after Jason Holder's side was ruled to be three overs short of its target when time allowances were taken into consideration," read an International Cricket Council statement released on Sunday.
Each West Indies player was fined 10 percent of their match fee for each over they were short, while Holder, as captain, forfeited double the amount.
If the West Indies are found guilty of falling behind in their over rate again in Melbourne or Sydney, Holder would be forced to sit out a test match.
The 24-year-old missed the second one-day international against Sri Lanka last month after West Indies were fined for a slow over rate in the opener, 10 months after a similar offence against South Africa.
Each format of the game is considered separately under the rule.
