Code of Conduct Breach – Match 15: DC vs UPW
UP Warriorz’s Sophie Ecclestone and Kiran Navgire have been fined 10% of their match fees for breaching the WPL Code of Conduct during their team’s match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Friday.
Both Sophie and Kiran admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 which relates to the abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a match.
For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding.
Here's what both captains and Player of the Match said after the match:
Alyssa Healy, UP Warriorz captain: (On the game) This is cricket. Anything can happen. Funnily enough, something like this happened in a practice game before the tournament. (On the score they put up) We probably did not get the partnerships we were after. We felt anything around 150 would be competitive. Deepti did a fantastic job but we needed more partnerships on the way to get above 150. (On the wicket that tilted the game firmly their way) Probably the last one (smiles). It is never over (before that). Did not necessarily think we would win. I cannot fault the girls' effort (in any game). They have a smile on their face and they turn up every time.
Deepti Sharma, Player of the Match: I backed my strengths and my shots, and was believing in my ability. Was trying to read the situation and pick what shots would work when. (On her bowling) We were trying to bowl as many dots as possible to the set batter. I like challenges, I was just backing myself and bowling stump-to-stump. (On taking a hat-trick) Oh, I did not know. (On the 19th over and the caught and bowled dismissal) Shikha di tries to play forward and I was ready for the caught and bowled (dismissal). We knew that we could change the game at any situation, and we were just confident in that. I want to continue the way I have been playing. There is no limit to learning and the more I learn, the better it will be for me.
Meg Lanning, the Delhi Capitals captain: (What she is feeling) Disappointed to not get the win. Felt we put ourselves in a pretty good position. Credit to the Warriorz for sneaking out that win. (What was the game-changer) My wicket probably played a part. I feel like I was the set batter and needed to take it a bit deeper, it put pressure on the other batters coming in. We could not get going at the back end. Couple of unfortunate dismissals. We did not play the conditions as well as we should have. (On the positives) We still got a lot right. Our bowling innings was excellent. Our powerplay batting was good too. It just shows that as long as you don't put 40 overs together, you don't get through.
