Australia have all but cemented a place in the T20 Women’s World Cup semi-finals, but their thrashing of Pakistan has come at a price.
Australia have all but cemented their place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals yet their nine-wicket cakewalk triumph against Pakistan has come at a cost with major injury concerns over captain Alyssa Healy and luckless pace ace Tayla Vlaeminck.
The captain’s injury concerns compounded earlier worries over Vlaeminck, who dislocated her right shoulder while fielding in the very first over of the match.“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, afterwards.
The early shock didn’t stop the Australian march as the abundant bowling riches at Healy’s disposal saw them skittle Pakistan for the lowest score of the tournament.It was another landmark day for Megan Schutt , who’d already become the T20 World Cup’s top wicket-taker in the previous match, as she became the all-time leading wicket-taker in all T20 internationals.
