Last weekend Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 The regular season delivered a heart-stopping thriller, but the story of the day wasn’t just a working margin — it was the moment Ellyse Perry He was dismissed thanks to one of cricket’s most incredible questions.
Sydney sixers claim final spot after beating adelaide raiders in a nail biting encounter
The collision between Sydney sixers and Adelaide Vacationers it was essentially a straight knockout, with a spot in the semi-finals on the line. Batting first, alter, an almost absolutely magnificent century, an almost absolutely magnificent century, first overs from star player Perry.
In reply, the strikers pushed the game to the very last ball before finally falling to the shortest, handing the sixers at least one win in the final over: 172/7. The drama was possible because Perry’s performance – a blistering 71 off 71 balls – was a miraculous moment in the innings.
Ellyse Perry survives hitting the stumps
The incident came as Perry was comfortable on 91 runs and looking to push towards his third DBBL hundred. Adelaide strikers spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington He delivered a ball which Perry tried to play but managed to get an inside edge.
The ball went straight to the stumps. In a split second, the entire ground – bowler, fielders and spectators – believe me the phenomenal innings is over. However, in a lucky move, the ball hit the target but did not take the hostage. The stumps flapped, the ball bounced, but the critical contact needed to clear the bail and get the dismissal just didn’t happen.
The sight of wickets remaining in their groove despite impact is a rare but sometimes seen phenomenon in cricket and few players have had so many at such an important stage.
