Pakistan women’s cricket team player Sidra Amin has been reprimanded for breaching the International Cricket Council (ICC) Code of Conduct during a recent match against India in Colombo.

According to an official ICC statement, Amin violated Article 2.2, which relates to the “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match.”

### Incident Details

The incident occurred when Amin slammed her bat on the pitch after being dismissed in the 40th over. She acknowledged her offense and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Shandre Fritz.

Since this was her first offense within a 24-month period, Amin was handed one demerit point for a Level 1 breach. This allowed her to avoid a formal hearing process.

### Official Charges

The charges against Amin were brought forward by on-field umpires Lauren Agenbag and Nimali Perera, third umpire Kerrin Klaaste, and fourth umpire Kim Cotton.

Level 1 offenses under the ICC Code of Conduct can lead to an official reprimand or a penalty of up to 50% of a player’s match fee. In Amin’s case, having accepted the proposed punishment, she has been officially reprimanded.

### Match Outcome

Despite Sidra Amin’s top score of 81 runs off 106 balls, Pakistan was bowled out for 159 while chasing India’s target of 248. This resulted in an 88-run defeat, marking Pakistan’s second loss in the ongoing World Cup tournament. The team previously suffered a defeat against Bangladesh in their tournament opener.

Pakistan’s next match is scheduled against Australia on Wednesday.
