NZ vs PAK, 2nd T20I: Kane Williamson Leaves Field Midway Due To Tight Hamstring In Hamilton

New Delhi: New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson left the field midway after “experiencing tightness” in his right hamstring while batting in the second T20I against Pakistan in Hamilton on Sunday. The batter will not return to the field because of a precautionary measure.

Now, in his absence, Tim Southee will lead the rest of the game. During 11th over, Williamson was seen uncomfortable and getting attended by the physio. He was batting on 26 off 15, with three fours and a six. During the drinks interval, he then swapped with Daryl Mitchell coming out to bat in his place.
