UP Warriorz Vs Mumbai Indians, WPL 2025: MI Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur Penalised For On-Field Confrontation With Umpire
WPL, in its statement, said Harmanpreet Kaur admitted to "the Level 1 offence under Article 2.8, which relates to showing dissent at an umpire바카라™s decision during a match"
The incident occurred at the end of the 19th over of UPW innings when umpire Ajitesh Argal informed Harmanpreet that only three fielders could be outside the circle in the final over due to a slow over rate.
Seemingly unhappy with the ruling, she was seen engaged in a brief argument with the umpire, with teammate Amelia Kerr also joining the discussion.
"Harmanpreet Kaur admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.8 which relates to showing dissent at an umpire바카라™s decision during a match," WPL said in a release.
"For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee바카라™s decision is final and binding." Harmanpreet also had a spat with UP Warriorz바카라™s Sophie Ecclestone during the match, when the English cricketer, standing at the non-striker바카라™s end, walked toward the umpire to explain something.
Harmanpreet appeared to respond sharply, seemingly asking Ecclestone to stay out of the conversation.
The exchange prompted intervention from square-leg umpire N Janani and UP Warriorz captain Deepti Sharma, who stepped in to defuse the tension.
UP Warriorz went on to post a total of 150/9, a target that Mumbai Indians chased down in 18.3 overs.
