Sophie Ecclestone and Kiran Navgire of the UP Warriorz were fined 10 per cent of their match fees on Sunday after they breached the Women’s Premier League (WPL) Code of Conduct in their match against Delhi Capitals (DC). The duo were fined after they breached Article 2.2 of the WPL’s code of conduct which pertained to the “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing”.
“Both Sophie and Kiran admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 which relates to the abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a match,” a WPL statement read.
“For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding,” it added.
The Warrioz eked out a thrilling one run win over the Delhi Capitals on the back of a sensational all-round display by Deepti Sharma.
Deepti scored a half century before becoming the first Indian and only the second player to claim a hat-trick in the history of the league.
