In pursuit of Donaustadt’s challenging target of 147/4 in 10 overs, courtesy of skipper Razmal Shigiwal’s remarkable 85 off 15 deliveries, the Independent’s innings in the European League match at Spain’s Cartama Oval began in an amusing manner.
During the second innings, on the third delivery, Hakim Peruzi bowled a wide ball that eluded the wicketkeeper’s grasp.
Despite a determined effort by a fielder to prevent a boundary, fate had other plans. An unfortunate collision with the wicketkeeper caused the ball to slip away, rolling over the boundary line.
Despite the fielder’s agile attempts, his efforts went unrewarded, leading to a moment of frustration as he knelt in disappointment, while the Independent’s dugout erupted in laughter.
