Watch: Ali Khan's wild wide bouncer to Kieron Pollard goes for 6, rules explained

During the Canada Super60 semi-final clash at BC Place in Vancouver, bowler Ali Khan delivered a towering bouncer that sailed past Kieron Pollard and crossed the rope without touching the bat. Confusion followed among spectators as the high delivery yielded five total runs, combining a wide penalty with four boundary extras rather than a six.

Under official MCC rules, a six requires the cricket ball to be struck by the batsman. In the same fixture, the Toronto Sixers successfully defended a total of 130 for four across their ten allotted overs, prevailing by nine runs against the Mississauga Masters.

Pollard earned Player of the Match honors after contributing 40 runs from 16 deliveries, while teammate Andries Gous added an unbeaten 33. Imad Wasim supported the effort with both bat and ball, chipping in 26 runs before taking two crucial wickets during the opposition chase.
