The second ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi witnessed a bizarre incident as umpire Aleem Dar got hit by a throw during the game and it led to an angry reaction from the veteran. The incident took place in the 36th over of New Zealand’s innings when Mohammad Wasim Jr collected a Glenn Phillips shot and sent the ball back to the non-striker’s end, but he ended up hitting the umpire.
