During the second ODI match between Pakistan and New Zealand at Pindi Cricket Stadium, Aleem Dar and Rashid Riaz, who were the on-field umpires, requested the match-day staff to alter the dimensions of the 30-yard circle while the game was still in progress.

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

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

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

It took approximately six minutes of match time to rectify the circle measurement.
