WPL, in its statement, said Harmanpreet admitted to “the Level 1 offence under Article 2.8 which relates to showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during a match.”
The incident occurred in the final over, when the on-field umpire penalised MI for a slow over rate, requiring them to have only three fielders outside the 30-yard circle. Harmanpreet was visibly displeased and confronted umpire Ajitesh Argal. All-rounder Amelia Kerr, who was set to bowl the final over, was also visibly upset by the decision.

Non-striker Sophie Ecclestone approached the umpire to express her views. This led to a heated exchange between Harmanpreet and Ecclestone, during which the MI captain was seen pointing a finger at her.
