India vice-captain Shafali Verma was handed an official reprimand for throwing the ball to the ground in frustration after dropping a catch.
The 22-year-old cricketer was found to have breached Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during India`s nine-wicket victory in Raipur.
Verma was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Verma`s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
The incident occurred when Verma dropped Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano`s catch at mid-off in the 12th over of Zimbabwe`s innings.
