The Women’s Premier League on January 27 delivered one of its most amusing moments when a wildly unconventional shot attempt left not just the fielding side confused, but even the batter herself momentarily stunned. What was meant to be an aggressive stroke turned into a piece of accidental comedy that instantly caught the attention of fans.
The incident unfolded when Lee, looking to clear the ropes, went for an all-out heave across the line. The timing, however, was completely off. The bat swung with intent, but the ball behaved in a way no one anticipated, creating confusion in the middle and behind the stumps.
Beth Mooney, stationed behind the wicket, appeared briefly unsure of where the ball had gone. Her delayed reaction summed up the moment perfectly, as both wicketkeeper and batter seemed to be searching for the ball at the same time. For a split second, it looked like everyone on the field had lost track of reality.
Lee herself was equally perplexed. After completing the shot, she paused mid-pitch, visibly uncertain whether she had connected or missed altogether. The hesitation and puzzled body language added to the humour, making the moment even more memorable.

Social media erupted almost instantly, with fans joking that the shot had left both Mooney and Lee “hallucinating.” Clips of the incident were widely shared, with viewers enjoying the rare sight of professional players caught in a moment of total confusion.
While the match quickly moved on, the bizarre heave remained one of the standout talking points of the day. It was a reminder of cricket’s unpredictable charm, where even mis-hits can create moments that entertain fans just as much as perfectly timed boundaries.
