Men in Green are currently playing a must-win game against underdog Netherlands after losing two consecutive games in the super-12 round.
In the first half of the crucial fixture, Netherlands player Bas de Leede was injured due to the dangerous short ball from lethal Pakistani speedster Haris Rauf.
Star all-rounder Bas de Leede was seen on his hunches, bleeding after being hit on the grill as Pakistani pacer’s bouncer caused scary scenes at Optus Stadium.
The injured player was then moved to the pavilion as he was unable to get out of the way.
The recap shows that De Leede attempted to hook the ball, however, the short ball careened into his grill, leaving a wound on his cheekbone.
