Women’s World Cup 2025: ICC reprimands Pakistan’s striker for breach during the confrontation against India
The India VS Pakistan match with high voltage in the ICC 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup Was marked by an intense moment on the field while the Pakistani striker Sidra Amin was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for breaking the code of sport conduct.
Why was the Pakistani striker reprimanded by ICC?
The incident took place in the 40th in the sleeves of Pakistan, while Sidra Amin reacted with visible frustration during her dismissal. After having scored a valiant 81 points, Amin broke his bat in the field in disappointment, an act considered as “the abuse of equipment or cricket clothing, floor equipment or lighting and accessories”, depending on article 2.2 of the ICC code of conduct for players and the support staff of the players.
The referee of the match Shandré Fritz took rapid measures by emitting Sidra Amin an official reprimand and a single point of demerit. It was in particular the first transgression of Sidra in the past 24 months. The ICC has also clarified the sanction structure for a level 1 offense: it can transport an official reprimand and a fine of up to 50% of the match costs, as well as one or two points demerit depending on the gravity. Sidra Amin immediately accepted the sanction, choosing not to challenge the decision, which means that the question was resolved without official audience.
India continues its domination over Pakistan, Sidra’s efforts are in vain
Despite Sidra Amin’s fighting stroke, the Pakistan range of strikers could not resist the pressure of Indian quisors, finally withdrawing for 159 while pursuing 248 for the victory. India then obtained a full victory of 88 points And maintained their undefeated sequence against Pakistan in the history of women of the ODI World Cup – a record now of 12-0.

The 81 of Sidra had given Pakistan a glimmer of hope, but while the counters tumbled, the emotions ran on the field. His explosion has become the objective of post-match meticulous examination and media discussion, drawing attention to the strict application by the ICC of players’ discipline in major tournaments. The reprimand serves as a critical recall to players on the importance of emotional control and respect for the spirit of the game during high pressure lighting.
The treatment of the situation by the ICC complies with its wider efforts to maintain the integrity and the decorum of international cricket. While Sidra has faced difficult consequences for her moment of frustration, she has no violations in the past two years, suggesting a generally disciplined approach to her career. While Pakistan examines its World Cup campaign, the episode will probably serve as a lesson to maintain the composure, whatever the circumstances of the match.
