Perry limps off field during New Zealand clash
Perry was an injury doubt before the game due to a hip complaint, only confirmed fit after a last-minute net session. With Australia's progression to the semi-finals dependent on victory, captain Meg Lanning was desperate to include her.
The decision paid off with the bat as Perry contributed a 15-ball 21, but in the 11th over of New Zealand's chase, Perry pulled up after gathering and releasing at mid-off and limped from the field with the help of support staff.
