India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj left Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan in pain after having a shy at the stumps but instead hitting the opener flush on the hand.
After Rizwan had driven a full delivery back at the bowler, Siraj collected the ball on follow through and attempted a direct hit, hoping to have the wicketkeeper-batter run out. However, the ball hit Rizwan on the hand and was deflected to fine leg.

Rizwan looked in considerable pain but spotted the chance to take a single. Siraj quickly apologised for the mistake and the two rivals hugged it out.
Earlier, Pakistan produced a superb bowling display to bowl out India for 119 in 19 overs after opting to bowl first in their T20 World Cup Group A clash in New York.
The fast bowling duo of Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf took three wickets each to nullify the good work done by India batters in the first half of their innings at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium.
India lost their openers cheaply with Virat Kohli (4) and Rohit Sharma (13) back in the dug-out by third over.
Rishabh Pant then revived the innings by taking the attack to the Pakistan bowlers even as he benefitted from a few dropped catches. Soon India were cruising along nicely at 89/3 before the collapse began.
Pant was the top-scorer with 42 off 31 while Axar Patel made 20 off 18 with Rohit the other batter to register a score in double-digits. Besides Naseem and Rauf, Mohammad Amir chipped in with two wickets while Shaheen Afridi took one wicket.
The toss and the start of the match was delayed by a rain-break. Eventually, Pakistan captain Babar Azam opted to bowl first. Once the rain subsided, the contest got underway but only one over was bowled when there was another rain-forced delay.
