As if the Pakistan vs UAE match wasn’t bizarre enough, a shocking incident happened during the second innings. On-field umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge was struck on his head and ear in the 6th over. Before the last ball of the powerplay, Ruchira had turned his head back when fielder Mohammad Haris threw the ball back to bowler Saim Ayub.

Ruchira had no idea the ball was coming to him until the very end. He tried to duck, but the ball hit him on his hat. He winced in pain as the Pakistan physio came to tend him. The throw wasn’t lethal, but since Ruchira was blindsided, it really hurt him.
Ultimately, Ruchira had to walk back, and reserve umpire Gazi Sohel took his place.
