On Tuesday, the opening match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2019 has been played between Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder. During the first match of the BBL’s ninth season, Sydney Thunder pacer Daniel Sam bowls a bizarre dead ball ever had in cricket history. After seeing the bizarre delivery everyone on the field or off the field couldn’t stop the laugh.

It all happened in the very first over of the second innings when the ball slips out of the bowler’s hand. And hence the ball landed near the square-leg umpire. Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batsman Tom Banton was on the strike, even he gets surprised. The incident was followed by both the players and commentators enjoying a laugh. Here we are sharing the video of the incident at the below of this article.
