ICC Fines India’s Kranti Gaud for Code of Conduct Breach in Women’s Asia Cup Final
India pacer Kranti Gaud was fined 10% of her match fee and given one demerit point by the ICC for breaching Article 2.5 of its Code of Conduct during the Women's Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. The Level 1 breach involved a gesture Gaud made after dismissing Sri Lankan opener Imesha Dulani, which was deemed provocative. Gaud admitted the offense and accepted the sanction. India won the final by 72 runs, securing their eighth Women's Asia Cup title. Separately, Pakistan's team was fined for a slow over-rate in their semifinal match.
