Doubt over Alyssa Healy’s fitness

Bad news has come for the Australian women’s team before the semi-finals. There is doubt over the team’s regular captain Alyssa Healy playing the semi-finals against India. Healy Coff is suffering from injury and due to this he did not participate in the matches against England and South Africa. However, Australia had won both the matches.

Team coach Shelley Nitschke told ICC that Healy is not completely fit, but his evaluation is ongoing. He said, “We are expecting Healy to be fit for the semi-finals. However, he will have to stay away from the game for a few days and during this time his condition will be constantly monitored.”

Healy played a memorable inning against India in the league match.

In the league stage match played between India and Australia in Visakhapatnam, Australia defeated India by 3 wickets. In that match, Alyssa Healy played a brilliant inning of 142 runs. He hit 21 fours and 3 sixes in his innings and played an important role in helping the team chase the target of 331 runs.

This semi-final match between India and Australia is expected to be very interesting, where on one hand India will enter with the intention of creating history on its home ground, while on the other hand Australia will try to maintain its unbeaten streak.
