The key to avoid that situation is to organize your thoughts. You have to arrange your thoughts and make it as a story foryourself. So that you will know what comes next in the story. When you arrange your thoughts, make sure the most important point (the point that you want to convey) comes at the end of your speech. This gives a nice finishing touch to your speech. A strong, inspiring finishing will always work.

You can also try this. Always try and keep a backup points which you dont include in your primary speech. In this way when you forget your point you can always start your backup point and go on with it. Within minutes you’ll remember your original story. then connect the backup points with the actual planned speech. This way nobody can sense that you have drawn a blank at the middle of your speech. You just have to continue smoothly without any panic and sweating.

Beforehand, know that if it happens, blanking out during a presentation is simply a speed bump that - like other speed bumps - might well happen during a speech. The power may go out, someone in the audience might fall asleep and snore, a bee could fly in the window….part of preparing for a presentation is recognizing that each of these is an opportunity not a disaster. Stuff happens, and the audience will be on your side, rooting for you to handle the matter calmly and with a light touch.
Pre-speech preparation. The more times you practice your speech aloud (not just in your head), the less likely you are to “blank out.” So practice, practice, practice. This creates a sort of interior channel or imprint of yourself giving the speech, so that your brain will more easily keep you going in right direction.
More pre-speech prep. In preparing your speech (I’m assuming you are delivering an extemporaneous speech NOT from a script), you will have outlined it thoroughly. Regardless of the length, you should be able to condense that outline into its most basic points. What are the three things you want to say/do in your opening? What are the 3 or 4 Ma joe points of the presentation? What few things do you need to include in your closing? Once you have that clear outline, you will have a good roadmap, or set of directions - either in your head or on a small card you can put next to you when you give your presentation.
So, the worst happens and, ugh, in the middle of a sentence you just forget what the heck you were talking about. (I’ve given many 1000s of speeches and it happens periodically.) you have several choices:
