Fatima fined for Asia Cup conduct breach
- On Saturday, the International Cricket Council fined Pakistan captain Fatima Sana 10 per cent of her match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct after gesturing toward India opener Shafali Verma.
- Officials cited a breach of Article 2.5, which prohibits gestures that "could provoke an aggressive reaction" from a batter, after Sana gestured toward the pavilion upon dismissing Shafali during India's chase of 56.
- Fatima admitted the offense and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Supriya Rani Das, negating the need for a formal hearing after on-field umpires Nimali Perera and Shathira Jakir Jesy leveled the charge.
- The penalty adds one demerit point to Fatima's disciplinary record, marking her second offense within a 24-month period following a previous incident in Dublin on August 6, 2025.
- India has qualified for Thursday's semi-final as group toppers, while Pakistan prepares to face Hong Kong on Monday evening in their final group game.
