Was There Tampering With Boundary During Pakistan's World Cup match vs Sri Lanka? Internet Alleges

Cricket World Cup: Several social media users, during the course of the match, pointed out to an interesting aspect on the 'Field of play' when Imam-ul-Haq took the catch of Kusal Mendis

The Cricket World Cup 2023 saw a high-scoring thriller between the Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team and the Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka cricket team. Sri Lanka, boosted by centuries from Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama, put a massive 345-run target for Pakistan. Though the likes of Babar Azam failed, Pakistan fought back well with Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan leading the charge. Rizwan stayed not out on 131 as his team got past the target in 48.2 overs.

Not saying they did it on purpose, but they really should have double checked. pic.twitter.com/s1fdvU3XJM This is absolutely pathetic from the Pakistan team. They are increasing boundary size in every match. @ICC take a look.Once a cheater always a cheater. Shame on them. pic.twitter.com/DlV6Vo0pZa

Several social media users, during the course of the match, pointed out to an interesting aspect on the 'Field of play' when Imam-ul-Haq took the catch of Kusal Mendis off Hassan Ali's bowling. Several social media accounts thought that the boundary might have been pushed, which made it easier for Imam to take the catch close to the ropes. They pointed out to a patch of grass that looked a little off-colour, presumably due to the boundary rope. However, there was no official reaction from ICC regarding the same.
