Bravo suffered a left hamstring injury in Saturday’s 150-run win over Pakistan in Christchurch. He made 49 before he was forced to retire hurt and didn’t field when Pakistan batted. The 26-year-old Trinidadian had also been left dazed when a powerful throw from Younis Khan hit him on the side of the helmet as he scrambled through for a single. To complete his miserable day, he was later reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for swearing. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: SCHEDULE & MATCH DETAILS
