top edge

Highest horizontal border

The top edge is the uppermost boundary of something—a page, a cliff, a screen.

In cricket, a top edge occurs when the ball strikes the upper part of the bat, often resulting in an uncontrolled shot that loops into the air: He got a top edge and was caught at fine leg.
