Rule pertaining to ball pitching in-line in the ADRS

The point of pitching (Pitching Zone) of the ball is indicated with the help of a stump to stump pitch mat in the Alternative Decision Review System (ADRS) being used in the ongoing Ispahani Bangladesh Premier League T20. In Appendix D1 of the tournament’s Match Playing Conditions, it is stated that a ball will be considered to have pitched ‘In-Line’ in the ADRS if ‘Any part of the ball was inside the Pitching Zone’. In accordance with this interpretation of the related rule, the TV umpire upheld the LBW (image showing the point of pitching of the ball attached) decision by the on-field umpire against Comilla Victorians batsman Jaker Ali in Comilla’s match with Fortune Barishal at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdury Stadium in Chattogram today.
