Pacer Haris Rauf perfectly laid out Pakistan’s intentions to get back on track during their game against the Netherlands with a nasty bouncer that injured batter Bas de Leede. Haris bowled a short delivery on the fifth delivery of the sixth over, which surprised the batter and hit him on the helmet.
The opposing players and physio rushed over to check on him, and he had a cut on his cheek. De Leede had to leave for the dugout, and the Netherlands had to name Logan van Beek as their concussion replacement.
