During the third One Day match between New Zealand A and Bangladesh A, a bizarre moment unfolded early in the second innings. New Zealand A were comfortably placed at 35/0 in 4.4 overs, chasing a target of 228, when pacer Ebadot Hossain delivered a straight ball that Dale Phillips smartly left alone. However, what followed left everyone stunned. Bangladesh A captain and wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan, who was positioned far back near first slip, failed to react at all as the ball hit straight into his helmet, which was placed behind the stumps. Since the ball hit the helmet on the field, New Zealand A were awarded five penalty runs, as per the ICC playing conditions. The incident has gone viral on social media.
