Australia have all but cemented their place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals yet their nine-wicket cakewalk triumph over Pakistan may have come at a huge cost with potential tournament-ending injuries to captain Alyssa Healy and luckless pace ace Tayla Vlaeminck.
Skipper Healy limped out with what "an acute right foot injury" caused when taking a swift second run while guiding her side on what had looked a trouble-free chase after they'd skittled Pakistan for just 82 in Dubai on Friday.
"Once we have more information based on her assessment and scans tomorrow, her availability for the rest of the tournament will be clearer," a team official reported.
