The incident occurred within the twenty fourth over of Pakistan’s innings when, after being dismissed, Sidra slammed her bat onto the bottom earlier than leaving the crease. She had beforehand obtained a demerit level for the same offence in opposition to India on October 5 through the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
Sidra accepted the offence and the sanction proposed by Shandrè Fritz of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, eliminating the necessity for a proper listening to.
On-field umpires Kerrin Klaaste and Nimali Perera, third umpire Lauren Agenbag, and fourth umpire Stacy Lackay levelled the cost.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimal penalty of an official reprimand, a most penalty of fifty per cent of a participant’s match payment, and one or two demerit factors.
