Pratika Rawal has been injured during the Women’s ODI World Cup match played against Bangladesh. She has sustained a knee injury. This match was played on Sunday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, but was called off due to continuous rain. There is uncertainty regarding Rawal’s participation in the semi-final. The Indian team has reached the semi-finals and will face Australia on October 30 at the same stadium. Limped off the field During Bangladesh’s innings in the 21st over of the match, Pratika Rawal ran to field the ball. The ground was wet due to rain, causing her to slip and fall. She did not require a stretcher but with the help of her teammates, she limped slightly as she left the field. BCCI issues medical update BCCI issued a statement saying that Team India’s all-rounder Pratika Rawal sustained knee and ankle injuries during fielding. The medical team is closely monitoring her condition.

She also scored a half-century against Australia. Amanjot Kaur opened the innings In place of Pratika, Amanjot Kaur was given the opportunity to open the innings with Smriti Mandhana in this match. Amanjot remained unbeaten on 15 and Mandhana on 34. India had reached 57/0 in the 9th over while chasing a target of 126 runs in 27 overs, when rain stopped the match, and it was later called off.
