Video: Chinelle Henry Gets Hit On Her Face While Trying To Catch The Ball In NZ vs WI Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Match

West Indies middle-order batter Chinelle Henry left the field after copping a blow to her forehead during the ongoing second semi-final of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The ball hit flush on Henry's face while trying to catch it and went down due to the injury.

The incident occurred in the 12th over of the innings as all-rounder Deandra Dottin banged the ball on the middle of the pitch and Amelia Kerr hit it to long-off. While the ball flew at a catchable height, Henry seemed to have lost it in the lights and copped a blow on her foreheard. The physio was out immediately to attend to Henry, who eventually walked out of the field.

Below is the video of the incident:

Deandra Dottin takes four wickets to restrict the White Ferns to restrict 128/9 in 20 overs:
