With one eye on the grand final spot, Sydney Thunder’s decision to field first after winning the toss in the Knockout worked well. Nathan McAndrew and Wes Agar drew the opening blood followed before Moises Henriques and Josh Philippe tried to hold the fort. Just when the duo were steering the innings well, luck ruled out the wicketkeeper-batter in the ninth over.
Tanveer Sangha operated for his third over from one end, when Henriques flatbatted a length delivery near the stumps back to the bowler. The ball came like a tracer bullet at Sangha who incurred a thud at the palm before the ball ricocheted into the non-striker’s end stumps. Meanwhile, Philippe had already left the crease in search of a run and could only watch the bail fall, leading to his dismissal. The Twitterverse felt for Philippe but Sangha and Thunder’s luck was the talk of the town.
Surprise runout! 😂
