OUCH! Alyssa Healy is in some pain and this is not a good sign for Australia Women. Especially with the semifinals coming up next week. Too full around off, Ellyse Perry drills this to deep extra cover and comes back for two. The Aussie skipper is seen hobbling though after completing the second and this is worrying for the defending champions.
