Lizelle Lee: Delhi Capitals opener Lizelle Lee has been fined 10 per cent of her match fees and given one demerit point for breaching the Women's Premier League (WPL) code of conduct during Tuesday's match against defending champions Mumbai Indians at the BCA Stadium.
The wicketkeeper-batter admitted her Level 1 offence and accepted the fine. "Lee admitted to a Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the Code of Conduct, which relates to the abuse of cricket equipment during the match. For Level 1 breaches, the match referee's decision is final and binding," a WPL release stated.
The incident happened during Delhi Capitals' pursuit of 155 runs against Mumbai. Their in-form batter Lee was playing really well, punishing any poor deliveries. However, in the 11th over, she was stumped out after a lengthy review by the third umpire. Lee, who missed her half-century by only four runs, was upset about the decision because replays indicated her bat briefly lifted off the crease as wicketkeeper Rahila Firdous took the bails.
