Dubai: Pakistan captain Fatima Sana has been fined 10 per cent of her match charge for making “disparaging gestures” after dismissing India opener Shafali Verma throughout their Girls’s Asia Cup match, the ICC mentioned on Monday.
The incident occurred within the second over of India’s innings when Fatima, after dismissing Shafali, gestured within the course of the pavilion on Saturday.
She was discovered to have breached Stage 1 Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Gamers and Participant Help Personnel, which pertains to “utilizing language, actions or gestures which disparage, or which may provoke an aggressive response from a batter upon his/her dismissal throughout an Worldwide Match.” As well as, one demerit level has been added to Fatima’s disciplinary file because it was her second offence in a 24-month interval, taking her tally to 2 demerit factors inside a yr.
Fatima acquired her earlier demerit level throughout the first match of a T20I sequence in opposition to Eire in Dublin on August 6, 2025.
Fatima admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Supriya Rani Das of the Emirates ICC Worldwide Panel of Match Referees, so there was no want for a proper listening to.
On-field umpires Nimali Perera and Shathira Jakir Jesy, third umpire Rokeya Sultana and fourth umpire Rabab Ahsan levelled the cost.
Stage 1 breaches carry a minimal penalty of an official reprimand, a most penalty of fifty per cent of a participant’s match charge, and one or two demerit factors.
