Gun allrounder cleared of serious injury but might miss must-win second ODI in Sydney07:09 Play video Australia v South Africa | First ODISouth Africa will be sweating on the fitness of star allrounder Marizanne Kapp ahead of Wednesday's must-win second ODI in Sydney. In promising news for the tourists, Kapp was cleared of serious damage, with the scan revealing a "soft tissue injury" to her upper left arm. There is a three-day gap between games, but South Africa will also be looking at the larger picture, with a third one-dayer and a one-off Test to follow in this multi-format series. "It looks like there's a bit of bruising, which is a bit unfortunate," Proteas allrounder Chloe Tryon said of Kapp's injury. "(Kapp) came out there with the intent and I think that's really important is a batter, you have got to be proactive in the middle."
