Third Umpire Overturns Finn Allen's Boundary Catch Attempt in IND vs NZ 5th T20I
During the fifth T20I between India and New Zealand at Seddon Park, New Zealand's Finn Allen made a remarkable boundary catch attempt to dismiss Indian batsman Ishan Kishan. Allen leapt near the boundary and tried to throw the ball back into play before stepping out. After a detailed third umpire review using multiple angles and split-screen footage, it was ruled that Allen's right toe touched the ground before releasing the ball, overturning the dismissal and allowing Kishan to continue batting.
