West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin was carried off the field by her teammates moments before the start of the team’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal against Australia at The Oval on Tuesday.

Dottin appeared to be in visible distress, though the exact nature of the issue was not immediately clear. An official update from the West Indies camp is still awaited.

The incident occurred shortly after the national anthems, when Dottin seemed to either sustain an injury or fall ill before being helped off the field by her teammates.

Later in the match, Dottin did come out to bat with the Windies struggling 83/6.

Earlier, Australia won the toss and elected to bowl against West Indies in the first semifinal.
