But in the seventh over of the Bangladesh inning, pacer Naseem Shah sustained a horrific injury as he lay on the field near the boundary rope still. This incident happened on the second delivery of the seventh over when Shah sprinted from fine leg and slid to his left in order to save the boundary.
However, he failed to save the runs for his team, seemed like he injured his right shoulder in the process after his left side brushed the rope. Although her lay long in that position, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan rushed to check on him and called the physio. Later on, Shah walked off the field as the match resumed with Pakistan calling in Mohammad Haris as a sub-fielder.
