The ICC, the governing body of events like the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup, takes offenses against the code of conduct seriously. This is why they are reprimanding Sidra Ameen.
The batter is being disciplined for breaching the code of conduct. According to ICC, “Sidra was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ‘abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match.”
In addition to this punishment, the women’s Pakistan team has suffered a crushing defeat.
