The ongoing Big Bash League have provided some enthralling matches so far. However, the ongoing competition has also seen some bizarre moments as well. In another hilarious moment in the Big Bash League (BBL), the toss between Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder had to be re-conducted as the bat flip landed on an edge.
In a video shared on X from official BBL account, the toss representative could be seen throwing the bat as the home captain called for it. To everyone’s surprise, the bat’s edge landed on the side. Cricketer-turned-commentator Lisa Sthalekar said, “Why is it with these grounds? Seriously, this happened to me last summer, I was here.”
Sydney Thunder captain Chris Green eventually won the toss and opted to bowl first against Brisbane Heat in the ongoing Big Bash League clash on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Brisbane Heat managed to post just 151 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Colin Munro was the highest-run getter for his side as he scored 46 runs.
Earlier in the Big Bash League, the game between the Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers was abandoned shortly after starting, due to an unplayable pitch in Geelong. It had been raining for hours in the region leading up to the match and there were signs of moisture under the covers on the pitch when players and officials arrived.
A number of unpredictable deliveries in the seventh over prompted a close inspection of the wicket, with match officials opting to call the game off after 6.5 overs at Kardinia Park.
