Australia have all but cemented their place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals yet their nine-wicket cakewalk against Pakistan has come at a cost with major injury concerns
Vlaeminck dislocates her shoulder and Healy limps off over their captain, Alyssa Healy, and luckless bowler Tayla Vlaeminck.
“We’ll assess the damage. Heartbroken for those two girls at the moment, but we’ll find out more in the coming days,” said Tahlia McGrath, the vice-captain. After she had to be helped from the field, Vlaeminck did have her shoulder relocated by medics, who said the extent of the injury would be known after further assessment.
The 31-year-old had Sadaf Shamas caught behind sharply by Healy for her 144th scalp in the short-format game, taking Schutt past Pakistan’s own Nidar Dar, who went wicketless as Australia chased down the target.
