Its plain and simple an effect of chain reaction (may be over reaction in Bashar's part)...
Slow over rate against India--> Result: Penalty --> Result: Match fee deduction for Bashar --> Game against ZIM: Tried to avoid one more Penalty --> Result: Ended up bowling the spinners more --> Result: Finished 50 over 23 Minutes ahead of scheduled time.
Penalty <==> Match fee deduction for Bashar. As ‘Penalty’ is enforced in the form of Match Fee deduction.
Slow Run Rate was definitely was in Bashar's mind (consciously or unconsciously), I have no doubt about that.
