Rashid Latif was batting and get 6 runs on one ball when the ball had went just few yards away from him and the wicket keeper. However, the score books will write a 6 against his name according to the rules.
One run was scored by Rashid Latif and to add five more to make six, umpire gave a plenty of five runs to the Sri Lanka Team. The ball had hit the helmet on the ground lying behind the wicket keeper. According to the cricket rules, it was out of law that ball hits anything which has kept by the fielding side. Any such incident in the cricket history has treated as a plenty to the bowling team.
It also becomes the addition as smallest six in the history of cricket score books. Wicket keeper batsman of Pakistan owns the record for ever and many be will not be broken again. Similarly Sri Lanka also becomes the part of record in cricket history as fielding side. However, the Sri Lankan bowler was in a loss that he had to suffer 6 runs on a ball which he bowled really well.
Such incident in Pakistan vs Sri Lanka math was taking place for the second time in the cricket history. However, in the earlier event, it was not six runs but 9 runs on one ball. It was during a teats match when a Sri Lankan wicket keeper was not able to collect the ball cleanly. The ball hit the helmet and went out of boundary. The batting side had given nine runs in total.
