As we know, the women’s T20 World Cup is happening in Dubai. India has registered its maiden win by beating Pakistan by 6 wickets. The Indian women’s team chased down a target of 106 runs in the 18th over.
But in the last stage of the game, a massive neck injury scares the Indian skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur. It all happens before the last delivery of the game.
In the 18th over, Pakistani all-rounder Nida Dar comes to bowl; at that time, Team India needs 3 runs in 2 overs. On the 4th delivery of the over, H. Kaur is on strike. Nida Dar tossed up a delivery outside off. Harmanpreet made room and tried to dab it down. But she missed and lost her balance.
Then Harmanpreet held her neck, and she seemed to be in some pain. The team physio came to attend her. But, Kaur looked serious. So she walked off the field, retired hurt, with teary eyes.

Latest Update on Harmanpreet Kaur’s Neck Injury
There is no official statement from the board on Kaur’s injury. After the completion of the match, she also skipped the post-match interaction. So, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana comes as Kaur’s deputy.
When asked by Nasser Hussain for an update on Kaur’s injury, Smriti said, “Too soon to say; the medics are looking at it. Hopefully, she’s all right.”
However, no one has clarified Harmanpreet’s neck injury. We will see if she is fit to play in the next match. Indian women will face Sri Lanka women on Wednesday, 9th October, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
