Australia has cruised to a comfortable 113-run victory over Pakistan in the Women’s T20 World Cup, but there may be concern over a finger injury to Beth Mooney.<\/p>\n

The Australian wicketkeeper dislocated the middle finger of her right hand twice during Pakistan’s run chase at Headingley.<\/p>\n

She received treatment but played on despite the injury, taking two catches off the bowling of Annabel Sutherland in the 14th over to end Pakistan’s innings.<\/p>\n

Mooney had already been troubled by injury during the tournament, having suffered from back stiffness during Australia’s 98-run win over the Netherlands last Saturday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the match against Pakistan, Mooney was dismissed for a duck on the first ball of the match.<\/p>\n

Australia was able to overcome the poor start to make 7-199, with Ellyse Perry impressing with 71 from 48 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Perry and Georgia Voll (39) combined for a 56-ball century partnership to steer Australia to its healthy total.<\/p>\n

“I really enjoyed my innings,” Perry said.<\/p>\n

“The powerplay is the best time to bat, I wanted to keep taking the game on.”<\/p>\n

Pakistan was all out for 86 in reply, with Australia captain Sophie Molineux (2-6), Perry (2-9) and Sutherland (2-12) the pick of the bowlers.<\/p>\n

Opener Muneeba Ali played a lone hand with the bat for Pakistan, scoring 32 from 25 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Australia is unbeaten from four matches ahead of its final group fixture against India at Lord’s on Sunday night AEST.<\/p>\n
