An inadvertent technical error from a bowling speed gun amusingly made Hasan Ali surpass Shoaib Akhtar’s two-decade-old record for the fastest delivery bowled in cricket history by many miles. Ali’s second delivery against Bangladesh in Dhaka during the series opener of the three-T20I series was shown to be delivered at a whopping 219 km/h, leaving plenty bemused. However, it is understood that it was down to a malfunction of the speed gun.
