The India women's cricket team toured Bangladesh in July 2023 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[3][4][5][6]

India won the T20I series 2–1.[7] Bangladesh won the first match of the ODI series, which was their first win over India in the format.[8] India leveled the series by beating Bangladesh in the second ODI by 108 runs.[9] The third and last ODI ended in a tie,[10] leading to the series being drawn 1–1.[11]

On 25 July 2023, Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian captain, was fined 75% of her match fee, received four demerit points and suspended for two matches by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for breaching the code of conduct for her outbursts during the final ODI of the series. She pleaded guilty to two separate charges pressed by Akhtar Ahmed - the match referee.[12]

Kaur received three demerit points and fined 50% of her match fee relating to "showing dissent at an umpire's decision". Thus, she became the first women's player to be given a Level 2 sanction since the ICC began listing code of conduct breaches publicly in 2016. She was also awarded one demerit point for a separate Level 1 penalty along with a fine of 25% of her match fee for "public criticism" of match officials.[13] Kaur found herself in the controversy after hitting the stumps with her bat when she was declared out. In the post-match presentation, she publicly criticised the umpires and disrespected the opponent team during the photo session, leading the Bangladeshi players to walkout.[14]
