In Pakistan-Sri Lanka match at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on october 10, a crucial moment blurred the line between the rules and human error. Kusal Mendis launched Hasan Ali’s delivery high into the sky as Imam ul Haq awaited at the deep midwicket boundary and completed the catch.

However, replays revealed that the boundary rope had been moved slightly back from its original position. If it had been in its proper place, Mendis’ shot would have been a six instead of a catch. 

Kusal Mendis’s catch is taken by Imam on the boundary, where the boundary rope was moved a bit back.
If it was in its actual position it would’ve been a six!!

Who should be responsible for this?? ?@bhogleharsha#CricketTwitter #PAKvsSL #CWC2023
