In an official update, Zimbabwe Cricket confirmed that Ndhlovu briefly lost consciousness after the blow and was later diagnosed with a concussion. However, the board added that there were no serious complications from the injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"An MRI scan later confirmed there was no skull fracture,\" ZC said. \"She was treated and subsequently discharged from the hospital. Ndhlovu returned for a follow-up examination on Tuesday morning, where further tests confirmed there were no additional complications,\" Zimbabwe cricket said in an official statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The injury occurred during the seventh over of Zimbabwe\u2019s innings when Ndhlovu was struck on the head by a short delivery from New Zealand pacer Bree Illing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
At the time, Ndhlovu had shared a 25-run opening partnership with Modester Mupachikwa. She attempted to duck under the bouncer but was hit despite wearing a helmet. The impact caused her to collapse immediately, prompting urgent medical attention on the field before she was transported to the hospital by ambulance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
