Got a free hit due to this reason :-

When the bowler released the ball from his hand on the fifth ball of the last over, at that time only three fielders were inside the circle. In such a situation, the umpire declared that ball a no ball. Let us tell you that Sadira Samarawickrama of Sri Lanka played an unbeaten inning of 91 runs.
