In the third over of the Hurricanes’ innings, opener Johnston was dismissed in a rare and unexpected manner. Facing Ismail’s right-arm medium-pace delivery, Johnston attempted a shot but failed to connect properly. The ball hit the edge of his bat and flew straight up the crease. Although Johnston appeared oblivious to the ball’s trajectory, his partner focused on a single attempt. Lizelle Lee refused to run away. The ball came down from a high arc and hit the stumps before Johnston was safely pulled back, leaving him for 5 runs from 6 balls, including a boundary. A strange dismissal added drama early in the match.
