Pakistan batter Sidra Amin received an ICC reprimand and a demerit point for breaching the Code of Conduct during the Women's World Cup match against India. Amin, who scored 81, hit her bat on the pitch after dismissal, violating Article 2.2 concerning abuse of cricket equipment. She accepted the charges, avoiding a formal hearing.

India maintained their perfect Women's World Cup record, defeating Pakistan by 88 runs to extend their dominance to 12-0. The intense rivalry spilled onto the field with skipped handshakes, heated exchanges, and a controversial run-out. Deepti Sharma, involved in a clash with Sidra Amin, was ironically named best fielder. India now faces South Africa and Australia next.
