Haris Rauf
Sometimes such scenes are seen on the cricket field that surprise everyone. Something similar was witnessed in the current season of the Big Bash League when fast bowler Haris Rauf, playing for the Melbourne Stars team, came onto the field to bat without wearing pads, gloves and helmet. After 19 overs of the Melbourne Stars’ innings were completed, Haris Rauf actually prepared to bowl, but in the last over his team lost four wickets in four consecutive balls. As a result, Rauf had no time to prepare for the bat and went straight to the field to bat.
Even the Sydney players were surprised when Rauf arrived with gloves and bat in hand.
The 12th match of this season of the Big Bash League was played between the Melbourne Stars and the Sydney Thunders at the Lewington Sports Oval. First in the match, Melbourne had scored 170 runs by the 19th over. After that, only 2 runs came in the first two balls of the last over. While Melbourne lost three wickets in a row in the next three balls. Haris suddenly had to come out to hit the last ball, which no one expected. In such a situation, Rauf had to reach the pitch within the allotted time, but since he was on the non-hitting side, he reached the pitch directly with only his bat and gloves. After that, Melbourne also lost the wicket on the last ball and were restricted to 172 runs in 20 overs. When Haris came on the field to bat like that, even the Sydney Thunders players were surprised to see him.
Sydney won by 5 wickets
As for this game, Sydney Thunders easily reached the target of 173 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 18.2 overs. Chasing the target for Sydney, Alex Hales played crucial innings with 40 runs and Cameron Bancroft with 30 runs. While bowling for Melbourne, Webster definitely took four wickets. With the win in this game, the Sydney Thunders team has now moved to fifth place in the points table with 2 points, while their next game is against Brisbane Heat on December 27th.
