Delhi Capitals batter Lizelle Lee has been fined 10% of her match fees and handed one demerit point for breaching the WPL Code of Conduct during the DC vs MI match in WPL 2026.
Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter Lizelle Lee was fined and received a demerit point for breaching the WPL Code of Conduct during the match against the Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. Match officials imposed a 10 percent deduction from her match fees and added one demerit point for a Level 1 offence related to misuse of cricket equipment.
The incident took place in the 11th over of Delhi’s chase of 155 runs. Lee was given out stumped for 46 after a long third-umpire check. Replays showed her bat lifting briefly from the crease as the wicketkeeper removed the bails. The dismissal ended her innings four runs short of a third half-century this season. Lee showed visible disappointment after the decision.
“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.
