Fielding on the boundary in the last 5 overs

This is common sense but we often make mistake like we did today and it almost cost us the game. . Boundary fielders are supposed to be on the boundary to take a catch and not stand 10 feet up. 

 

That six of Bhuvi in the 2nd last over was bad fielding by Pandya. Boundary fielder are supposed to be on the rope and he was standing 10 feet up. Should have been a catch.

 

In last 5 overs, you have to be on the boundary line Pandya.

He probably did not expect Bhuvi to bowl a short ball and the ball would top edge for a six. Maybe standing 10 feet up it would be easier to stop singles and fours.

Top edge? man from straight bat it came six. Fielders on long on and long off are supposed to be on the boundary every time in the last 5 overs. Yes, every time in the last overs when defending 40-50 runs as sixes or catvhes will be coming in that region a lot.

 

Pandya is a good fielder otherwise.
