‌NED vs BAN | Twitter reacts to perplexed Tanzid as beaming bouncer gets stuck in helmet

Eyeying a qualification spot for the Super Eight stage, Netherlands captain Scott Edwards won the toss and elected to field after a rain delay. Following a brilliant couple of overs, conceding just five runs for a wicket, Tanzid counterpunched the Dutch side by smacking a four and a six against Vivian Kingman on the second and third ball of the third over respectively. However, two balls later, Kingma had a surprise for his counterpart as the Bangladesh opener was seen in discomfort. 

On the fifth ball of the third over, Kingma dished a sharp bouncer that the southpaw intended to hook over square leg. However, the steep bounce off the strip left Tanzim with a thud at the grill of the helmet. The ball stuck into the grills for a while and the batter was seen flicking out before taking off the helmet carrying the ball. While the Bangladesh physio strolled in quickly to assess the batter, the ball sticking to the helmet left the Twitterverse abuzz.

This is funny

Unusual

Unusual moment in the match! 🏏 Kingma's bouncer catches Tanzid Hasan off-guard, top-edging the ball straight into his helmet grill! Never seen that before. Helmet off, concussion test underway. Stay focused out there, folks! #T20WorldCup #BANvsNED #NEDvsBAN #CricketTwitter

In the visor

Tanzid looks for a pull, and ends up top-edging the ball into his helmet grille. #BANvsNED pic.twitter.com/QAthxh9Zw4
