Watch: Spinner's 'Ball Of The Century' Goes Viral, Leaves Fans in Awe
A sensational delivery during the KCC T20 Challengers Cup 2024 match between Kuwait Nationals and SBS CC has taken social media by storm, earning accolades as the new 'ball of the century'. The delivery, bowled by a spinner, enticed the batter outside the off-stump, who attempted a massive slop sweep over mid-wicket.
However, to the batter's bewilderment, the ball sharply turned and crashed into the stumps, leaving the crowd in awe.
The video of this remarkable moment has quickly gone viral, drawing comparisons to Shane Warne's iconic delivery to dismiss England's Mike Gatting in June 1993, with cricket enthusiasts and international players alike joining in the conversation.
In another display of Australian cricket dominance, the Under-19 World Cup final witnessed Australia triumphing over India by 79 runs at Willowmoore Park in South Africa. Continuing their winning streak from previous years, Australia's senior men's team had clinched both the world Test championship and Cricket World Cup in 2023, defeating India in the finals of both tournaments. Similarly, the Australian women's team holds the titles of 50-overs and T20 World Cup champions.
During Sunday's final, contested by the only unbeaten teams in the tournament, Australia won the toss and elected to bat, amassing a formidable total of 253 for seven in their allotted 50 overs. Highlighting their batting prowess, left-handed batsman Harjas Singh contributed a robust 55 runs.
Despite India's strong batting performances leading up to the final, they faltered under Australia's pace bowling attack, managing only 122 for eight. Opening batsman Adarsh Singh was the lone top-order batsman to shine with 47 runs.
While Murugan Abhishek offered some resistance with 42 runs in the lower order, India was eventually bowled out for 174. Fast bowler Mahli Beardman 's exceptional performance earned him the title of man of the match, claiming three wickets for 15 runs, while off-spinner Raf MacMillan also contributed significantly with three wickets for 41 runs.
