Harmanpreet, Shafali fifties and Nandani three-for seal 3-0 series sweep for India
Sharne Mayers scored 60 for Zimbabwe but they never seemed likely to chase down 217 in Raipur
India's vice-captain Shafali Verma faces disciplinary action from the International Cricket Council (ICC) following a match against Zimbabwe. During the nine-wicket victory in Raipur, Verma dropped a catch and subsequently threw the ball to the ground in frustration, violating ICC regulations. The 22-year-old Indian cricketer was found guilty of breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which addresses the misuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment, or fixtures during an international match.
The ICC added one demerit point to Verma's record, marking her first offense within a 24-month period. As per the Code of Conduct, Level 1 breaches result in a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, with the maximum punishment being a 50% fine of a player's match fee, along with one or two demerit points. Verma admitted to the offense and accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC International Panel of Match Referees, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Vrinda Rathi, Gayathri Venugopalan, third umpire Anna Harris, and fourth umpire Janani Narayanan issued the charge.
