Watch: Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd ODI halted due to bizarre error
The second ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand was halted for a bit due to mismeasurement of the 30-yard circle. Umpire Aleem Dar was the one to point it out and directed the ground staff to fix the measurement.
However, the first over had already been bowled by then. So, before the second one, Dar fixed the measurement of the circle by measuring it with steps which led to 6 minutes of the match being lost, according to Geo News.
In the match, Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl against the Kiwis in the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
They really changed the 30-yard circle during the match, that was hilarious! 😂 #PAKvNZ pic.twitter.com/7bKhKHgLdt
