Healy replaced Meg Lanning for the first time, who is on indefinite leave, to help Australia get off to a flying start after being asked to bat. He scored 30 off 21 balls, hitting six fours in the process. On the last ball of the powerplay, she moved well to the offside and pulled Deepti Sharma to the square leg fence. Then he appeared to tweak his calf.
Hayley was spotted wandering around and, after some attention from the physio, decided to carry on. However, one ball later, she failed to score a quick run, as she decided to walk. Shortly thereafter, she withdrew from further participation in the game.
After the series against India, Haley was scheduled to play a domestic 50-over match in the Women’s National Cricket League, Australia. From January 16, Australia is set to begin a three-match ODI series against Pakistan at home for the six-match white-ball series, which is part of the ICC Women’s Championship cycle.
