The rescheduled 27th match of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) saw Perth Scorchers lock horns against Melbourne Stars at the Kardinia Park Stadium in Geelong on Tuesday. Scorchers defeated Melbourne Stars by 47 runs. Following the win, the Scorchers cemented their place on top of the BBL points with 37 points in 12 matches. With the win, the Scorchers have almost sealed a place in the knockout stage of the competition.
A humorous event occurred during the match when a child was observed sitting in the stands wearing his wicketkeeping gloves. 7Cricket, an Australian cricket broadcaster, published a photo of a kid sitting in the stands with his gloves on, waiting for the ball to arrive so he could attempt a catch. During the high-scoring contest, 16 sixes were struck, and the young man must have expected one of them to come his way.
