Pakistan is taking on Netherlands in T20 World Cup 2022 clash in Perth.
Netherlanda Bas de Leede was forced to retire hurt after he was unable to get out of the way of a bouncer from Pakistan speedster Haris Rauf.
It was fifth delivery of 6th over, De Leede attempted to hook the ball towards fine leg, but the direction and speed of the ball were too much for the top-order hitter.
The ball hit into his grill, leaving a nasty gash on the right-hander’s cheek bone.
Pakistan fielders went to De Leede and helped him remove his helmet. Later he left the field with visible cut.
