Bizarre! Ali Khan's wide ball goes for six, batter gets only five runs - Watch
A bizarre incident in the Canada's premier T10 cricket league semi-final saw Ali Khan’s wide bouncer clear the boundary, but Toronto Sixers received only five runs. Under MCC laws, a ball not hit by the bat counts as four, plus one for the wide. Toronto beat Mississauga Masters by nine runs and reached the final, where they will face Vancouver Anchors.
In a bizarre incident during the Canada's premier T10 cricket league semi-final between Toronto Sixers and Mississauga Masters, a wide delivery from USA pacer Ali Khan resulted in Toronto Sixers being awarded only five runs instead of six. The ball, bowled over batter Kieron Pollard and wicketkeeper, cleared the boundary without touching the bat, leading commentators to initially think it would be a wide and six.
However, under MCC laws, a six can only be awarded if the ball has been hit by the bat. Toronto Sixers went on to beat Mississauga Masters by nine runs and secure their place in the final, while Vancouver Anchors defeated Brampton Blitz by six wickets, advancing to face Toronto Sixers in the tournament final.
