CRIK:Mooney scare mars Australia's World Cup win over Dutch

Beth Mooney has played down any concerns about her back injury after Australia crushed the Netherlands by 98 runs in their T20 Women's World Cup clash in Southampton.

In reply to Australia's 6-219 on Saturday, the world No.14 side were restricted to 3-121 despite a brave effort from the Associate nation.

Australia's third win on the trot has put them on the cusp of locking away a top-two berth in their group and a spot in the semi-finals.

But there was an injury scare with Mooney, who struck an unbeaten 74 off 42 deliveries before retiring hurt with the scoreboard reading 2-152 after 14 overs.

Mooney didn't look hampered in any way before going off the ground, having just struck Iris Zwilling (3-52) for a six two balls earlier before finishing the over by running a quick two.
