There are two reasons behind the West Indies’ first-ever back-to-back T20I victories over India in a bilateral series. The first has been their bowling, and the second has been the in-form Nicholas Pooran. Continuing his superb form in Major League Cricket, where he hit a whirlwind century in the final, the former skipper smashed 108 runs in two matches, including a counter-attacking 67 that won the match for the home team in the second T20I. The ICC, on the other hand, fined the star batter for violating the Code of Conduct during the match in Guyana on Sunday.
Pooran was penalized 15% of his match fee for violating the ICC Code of Conduct during India’s innings. Pooran violated Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which addresses public criticism of an incident that occurred during an international match.
The incident occurred in the fourth over, following India captain Hardik Pandya’s decision to bat first. Pooran had chastised the umpire for requiring a player review for a ruling that he felt was plainly wrong.
Pooran acknowledged the offense and accepted the sanctions imposed by on-field umpires Leslie Reifer and Nigel Duguid, third umpire Gregory Brathwaite, and fourth official Patrick Gustard, as proposed by match referee Richie Richardson; therefore, no formal hearing was required.
In addition to the fine, Pooran was given a demerit point that would be added to his disciplinary record. It was his first offense in the previous 24 months. Level 1 violations result in a minimum of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50% of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.A

Hardik Pandya, India’s captain, struck early in the West Indies chase, taking two wickets in the opening over. Despite the fielding limits, the West Indies rapidly gained momentum thanks to Pooran’s counter-attacking strokeplay. Even though West Indies lost a third wicket inside the powerplay, Pooran’s 18-run last over against the new ball meant that the hosts were comfortably in control.
