Ali Khan's Bouncer Clears Wicketkeeper for Five Runs in Canada Super 60 Match
During the Canada Super 60 semi-final, fast bowler Ali Khan delivered a bouncer that flew over wicketkeeper Kieron Pollard and landed beyond the boundary. Although it appeared to be a six, the ball did not touch the bat, so umpires ruled it a wide with four byes, awarding five runs. The incident highlighted the short boundaries at BC Place and surprised players and fans. Pollard's team won the match, securing a place in the final.
