Harmanpreet Kaur was awarded 3 demerit points and has been charged 75% of her match fees for indulging in on-field misconduct. The ICC has penalised the Indian Captain for her actions.

While Smriti Mandhana came out in support of her skipper, there is no denying that Kaur’s actions were going to reap troubling consequences for her. Many believe that her behaviour has tarnished the ‘spirit of cricket.’ Bangladeshi Skipper Nigar Sultana majorly disapproved of the way her counterpart behaved with the hosts. The ODI series between the two teams ended in a 1-1 tie.
