Watch: Mohammad Wasim Jr’s throw hits umpire Aleem Dar on ankle during PAK vs NZ 2nd ODI

Umpire Aleem Dar was on the receiving end of a throw from Pakan’s Mohammad Wasim Jr’s which hit him on the right ankle during the second ODI between Pakan and New Zealand in Karachi on Wednesday.
The incident occurred during the 36th over of the innings when Glenn Phillips flicked a Haris Rauf delivery to deep square leg and Wasim threw the ball, hoping to catch the batters unaware.
But the ball hit Dar, who was at that time looking at the batters who were trying to make ground. After getting hit, he tossed the sweater that he had with him while Pakan skipper Babar Azam and others were seen laughing. Naseem Shah then came and massaged the right leg of Dar while he got sprayed on his leg
