Reigning world champion

T20 World Cup: Reigning World Champion in T20 Australia suffered a setback ahead of a key clash with India when pacer Tayla Vlaeminck got injured on the fourth ball of their ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 match against Pakistan here on Friday.

Set to play India in the league stage on Sunday, which will decide the two qualifiers from Group A, Australia will be hoping for a positive fitness update about Vlaeminck, who was brought into the Australia side for the match against Pakistan after spending the team’s opening two games in the dugout.

But the 25-year-old suffered what appeared to be a nasty injury in the field off just the fourth ball of the innings.
