West Indies star Shamilia Connell collapses during World Cup match in "worrying" scenes

West Indies bowler Shamilia Connell collapsed on the field during her side's Women's Cricket World Cup clash against Bangladesh on Friday.

Connell was fielding at midwicket at the time and her teammates rushed to her side, before medical personnel ran on to give her treatment. The 29-year-old ended up leaving the ground in an ambulance.

The incident occurred during the 47th over of Bangladesh's innings, with the game getting brought to a halt. Play eventually resumed and the West Indies went on to win the game by just four runs, bowling Bangladesh out for 136.
