Shafali Verma reprimanded by ICC for abuse of cricket equipment during 2nd T20I against Zimbabwe

India opening batter Shafali Verma received an official reprimand and a demerit point from global cricket authorities following her side's second T20 international fixture against Zimbabwe. The twenty-two-year-old athlete was penalized for violating conduct rules regarding the mishandling of match gear during the twelfth over of the opposing batting innings.

The infraction occurred when the player hurled the sphere downward in frustration after dropping a catch at mid-off position. Match officials confirmed the sanction after the competitor accepted the penalty without requesting a formal inquiry.
