Pakistan took on New Zealand in the second ODI of the five-match ODI series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on April 29. The game witnessed a hilarious incident as umpires had to direct the ground staffs to fix the wrongly measured 30-yard circle as the game was halted for around 6 minutes.

According to an update on Geo news website, Pakistani news channel, the pitch was changed after the first over of New Zealand innings was delivered with inaccurate measurements. Experienced umpire Aleem Dar rectified the inaccurate dimension by measuring the distance with his steps.

The gound staff were called after which Aleem Dar instructed them to fix the measurements of the 30-yard circle. After a delay of around 6 minutes the measurements of the 30-yard circle were fixed and the game between Pakistan and New Zealand was resumed.
