The West Indies were sweating on the fitness of "crucial" Stafanie Taylor after the all-rounder suffered a knee injury at the Women's T20 World Cup on Thursday.The 33-year-old Taylor was forced to retire hurt on 27 in her team's eight-wicket win over Bangladesh, which kept alive the 2016 champions' hopes of making the semi-finals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Indies will meet undefeated England in their last Group B game on Tuesday. Pool rivals South Africa are also in the running for a semi-final spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I think she's got a knee problem, but they're trying to look after her really well. She's a fighter, and I think she knows how to manage her body pretty well," said West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews who shared a 52-run opening stand with Taylor on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"She's been putting up a good fight this tournament trying to stay on the park, but I think today at the water break it was just a matter of I guess realising the position we were in the game, and the fact that she could probably go off."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Matthews, who made 34 in the win which took West Indies to the top of Group B with two wins from three games so far, described her veteran teammate as "a crucial part of our lineup".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Luckily we've got the last game of the group and more than likely we're going to have to win the game," said Matthews of the prospect of facing second-ranked England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
