Australia was injured in the first game of the ongoing game Pakistan In ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Their fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck had to leave the field after suffering a serious injury early in the game.
The incident happened in the fourth ball of the first over when Megan Shutt was bowling to Muneeba Ali. Schutt bowled a full length delivery outside off and Muneeba went for the drive. However, he failed to make good contact with the ball and edged the ball past the slip cordon.
Tayla Vlaeminck chased the ball and was seriously injured as a result. As he chased the ball, his knee caught in the turf and landed awkwardly on his arm. He injured his previously injured shoulder. Tayla Vlaeminck immediately looked pained as the physical therapist ran away.
Although he received treatment on the field, he could not continue and immediately left the field after receiving an injury. Later, the Australian women’s team informed the bowler that she had dislocated her right shoulder. His shoulder has been repositioned, but the extent of the injury will only be known after further evaluation.
“Tayla dislocated his right shoulder trying to make a boundary stop. His shoulder has been repositioned and the extent of the injury will be determined following further assessment in the coming days,” the Australian team said in a statement.
An update from the Aussie camp on Tayla Vlaeminck:

Another setback for Tayla Vlaeminck:
Tayla Vlaeminck has had a string of injuries in her career so far and will be hoping that her latest injury setback is not serious enough to rule her out of the ongoing World Cup.
During the 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup, he suffered a stress fracture in his leg and missed Australia’s winning campaign. She also missed the 2022 Women’s World Cup due to a shoulder injury. Australia also won that tournament.
In 2023, he failed to make the cut in Australia’s winning squad for the T20 World Cup. South Africa. The 25-year-old has so far played 19 T20Is and scored 18 wickets. The ongoing game against Pakistan was his debut in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
