Healy still hopes to lead Australia into World Cup semi

Alyssa Healy hasn't ruled out the prospect of leading her Australia team out in their T20 World Cup semi-final - and team medics are giving the skipper every possible chance to be fit for the clash against South Africa in Dubai.

Healy, still recovering from her right foot injury suffered last week in the win over Pakistan, faces a race to be fit for the repeat of last year's final in Cape Town, when Australia beat the hosts by 19 runs.
