While Nahida was found to have breached article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match,” Sarmin was found guilty of breaching Article 2.8 which relates to “showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during an International Match.”
In addition to the fine, one demerit point each has been added to both their disciplinary records, making it a first offence for both of them in a 24-month period.
Nahida had given a sendoff to captain Chamari Athapaththu after dismissing her in the 17th over of Sri Lanka’s innings, pointing to the pavilion. Sarmin on the other hand pointed to her bat and showed excessive disappointment before a delayed departure from the pitch when she was adjudged LBW in the 16th over of Bangladesh’s innings.
