During the second ODI match between Pakistan and New Zealand at Pindi Cricket Stadium, Aleem Dar and Rashid Riaz, the on-field umpires, urged matchday staff to change the dimensions of the 30-yard circle while the game was still underway.

At the second ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand, umpires Aleem Dar and Rashid Riaz asked matchday staff to change the dimensions of the 30-yard circle mid-game. Video of this immediately went viral on social media, with many wondering if such a decision could be made mid-game. However, Dar and Riaz corrected it right after the first over when the visiting team was 4/0.

The 30-yard circle was measured incorrectly, which was discovered by Dar.

A video of this incident quickly became popular on social media, leading some to question whether such a change could be made during gameplay.

Nonetheless, Dar and Riaz rectified the problem immediately after the first over when the visiting team had scored four runs without losing any wickets.

Remarkably, after winning the first ODI, the Pakistani skipper opted to go first after winning the toss at Rawalpindi. The home team dealt the Kiwis the first blow in the sixth over of the game when Haris Rauf sent off Will Young for 19 runs. Chad Bowes, meanwhile, looked rock solid as the 30-year-old hit 51 runs from 51 deliveries. Ace pacer Haris Rauf found the better of him in the 19th over when skipper Latham came out to bat afterwards.
