Birsabne Heat all-rounder Deandra Dottin was rushed to the hospital after collision with teammate Laura Harris. The incident took place in the 11th over of the Melbourne Stars innings when a Meg Lanning shot landed in between the two fielders in the deep mid-wicket region.

Dottin and Harris both went for the ball to stop it from reaching the boundary and collided with each other. Dottin’s head struck a kit-bag kept beside the boundary rope and left her in great discomfort.

She was stretchered off the field. Harris however, recovered from the collision.
