During the ongoing third ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand, Mohammad Nawaz, the Pakistani all-rounder, suffered a finger injury and had to be taken to the hospital for an X-ray.
The injury occurred when Daryl Mitchell hit Nawaz’s hand with the ball on the first ball of the 21st over, causing visible pain and immediate treatment. Despite the injury, Nawaz completed his over before leaving the ground. At the time of the injury, Pakistan had scored 287-6 in 50 overs, with Imam-ul-Haq contributing 90 runs and Babar Azam adding 54 runs.
New Zealand was batting at 182-5 in 39 overs when the article was written. This latest injury is another setback for the Pakistani team, who have already lost Haris Sohail due to an injury during a practice session, and Iftikhar Ahmed replaced him for the last three ODIs in Karachi. The PCB has yet to release an update on the extent of Nawaz’s injury.
