A strange incident occurred in the live game
WBBL 2023: There are many rules in international cricket that fans know very little about. Recently, the time-out rule came into the spotlight during the 2023 World Cup. Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews was given a time-out during the match against Bangladesh. Now that the Women’s Big Bash League is underway in Australia, something has happened that has surprised cricket fans.
A strange incident occurred in the WBBL
The Women’s Big Bash League hosted a match between the Sydney Sixers and the Brisbane Heat on Tuesday. While Sydney batted, Amelia bowled the 10th over. During this over, Amelia Kar attempted to catch a ball while holding a towel. As soon as the ball touched the towel, the on-field umpire took action and awarded Brisbane a five-run penalty. Actually, it’s against the rules to stop the ball in this way. We tell you that Amelia Karr is a New Zealand player. She has played 65 ODIs and 65 T20s for New Zealand so far.
Do you know what the rules say?
According to Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Rule 28.2.1, the main body of cricket rules, if a fielder uses clothing, gloves, helmet, goggles, etc. other than his body to stop the ball, then the opponent will be assessed a penalty gave the team 5 runs. If the batsman scores runs by runs in addition to penalty runs, these runs are also added.
That was the condition of this game
In this match, Brisbane batted first and scored 176 runs, losing seven wickets. Amelia Kar played an innings of 64 runs off 44 balls in this match, including 10 fours. The Sydney Sixers, who had set their sights on chasing the target, achieved that target with one ball remaining. Gardner scored the highest score of 36 runs for Sydney.
