Delhi Capitals opener Lizelle Lee has been fined 10% of her match fees and received a demerit point for violating the Women’s Premier League (WPL) code of conduct during a match against Mumbai Indians. Lee accepted her Level 1 offense, which involved the abuse of cricket equipment, according to a WPL release. The incident occurred while Delhi Capitals were chasing 155 runs against Mumbai, with Lee being dismissed after a review showed her bat briefly lifted off the crease.
Lee, who missed her half-century by just four runs, expressed her frustration over the decision after being stumped out. Following a lengthy review, she engaged in a heated exchange with the on-field umpire, resulting in a Code of Conduct violation. Despite the incident, Lee shared her interest in pursuing umpiring post-retirement, mentioning her enjoyment of the role and her focus on continuing to play cricket for as long as possible.
Having been acquired for Rs 30 lakh in the WPL auction, Lee has proven to be a valuable player for Delhi Capitals, currently ranking as the third-highest run-scorer in WPL 2026. With an impressive record of 213 runs in five innings at an average of 42.60 and a strike rate of 154.35, Lee’s performance has been noteworthy in the league.
