In a strange and unfortunate moment during the third ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand on Saturday, batter امام الحق had to leave the field after getting hit in the face.
It happened early in Pakistan’s innings while Imam was running between the wickets. A throw from a fielder struck the inside of his helmet grill and bounced up, hitting him hard on the jaw. The ball even got stuck in his helmet for a moment.
He dropped to his knees in pain and could not get up on his own. Medical staff rushed in and he was taken off the field in a vehicle. Then he was ruled out for the match with a concussion and taken to the hospital to be evaluated for a possible broken jaw.
Batting first at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand had made a score of 264 runs at the loss of 8 wickets. They were hoping to win the series 3-0. They have already won the previous matches in Napier and Hamilton.
