Ali Khan’s bouncer clears boundary untouched in Canada Super 60 semi-final, umpire signals five wides

During the Canada Super 60 semi-final at BC Place in Vancouver on October 4, 2026, bowler Ali Khan bowled an untouched bouncer that flew over the boundary rope. The delivery rose above head height over batter Kieron Pollard without making contact with the bat or body, prompting the umpire to signal five wides.

Under MCC Law 22 and Law 19, five runs were correctly awarded—one for the wide plus four boundary runs—as six runs can only be awarded when struck by a bat. Toronto Sixers ultimately won the 10-over contest by nine runs after successfully defending a score of 130/4.
