Later, she openly criticised the umpiring, terming it ‘pathetic’ while speaking at the post-match presentation

Kaur was fined 50 per cent of her match fee for the Level 2 offence and received three demerit points on her disciplinary record

She was found guilty of breaching Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel

Harmanpreet was also fined 25 per cent of her match fee for a Level 1 offence

In Harmanpreet’s case, the accumulation of four demerit points converted to two suspension points
