Rare scenes! Watch: Tanzid Hasan avoids serious injury as ball gets stuck in his helmet visor

Tanzid Hasan, on Thursday (June 13), avoided a nasty face injury during the ongoing game between Bangladesh and Netherlands at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent.

The incident took place in the third over when the Bangladesh batter was facing Vivian Kingma. The left-handed batsman started the over on a good note by hitting Kingma for a four and a six in the first three balls. It was followed by a double before he nearly copped a blow on his face.

On the fifth ball of the over, Kingma bowled a short delivery and Tanzid Hasan had absolutely no room to play the pull shot. The ball rose sharply and Tanzid Hasan was absolutely beaten by it as he was a bit late on the pull. He ended up top-edging the ball into the visor.

Fortunately for the Bangladesh batter, the ball got stuck in the visor and he did not suffer any serious injury. He had to undergo the mandatory concussion test and was cleared to continue batting.

Talking about the game, Bangladesh were on 71 for 3 in the ninth over at the time of writing this report. Towhid Hridoy and Shakib Al Hasan were batting in the middle for the Bangla Tigers. Asked to bat first, Bangladesh were off to a poor start as captain Najmul Hossain Shant and Litton Das were dismissed for one run each.

Tanzid Hasan and Shakib then steadied the ship with a 48-run stand before the former was dismissed for 35 runs. Both Bangladesh and Netherlands have one win each from their first two games and a win in the ongoing game will put them in the driver's seat for a place in the Super 8s. South Africa have already booked their spot in the next round from Group D and Bangladesh and the Netherlands are in contention for the second spot.
