Pakistan's explosive middle-order batter injures knee ahead of T20 World Cup 2022 encounter against India

Babar Azam-led Pakistan thumped New Zealand by five wickets in the final of Tri-Nation series. Mohammad Nawaz struck an unbeaten 38 off 22 to help Pakistan chase down 164 with three balls remaining. Rauf bowled a sensational spell of 2/22 but what caught everyone's eyes was when his delivery on the fourth ball of the sixth over blew Glenn Phillips' bat into smithereens. The 143kmph delivery resulted in major chunk of Phillips' bat being flown as it hit the bottom edge and the ball thudded into the base of his bat.
