Beer in one hand and catch in the other, this fan hitImage Credit source: Screenshot/BBL Video

These days a cricket fair is going on in Australia and there are plenty of fun arrangements for the fans. On one hand, the Ashes Test series is being played between hosts Australia and England, while on the other hand, the thrill of T20 cricket is also being seen in the Big Bash League. In such a situation, the cricket fans of Australia are enjoying this time a lot and along with entertainment, some fans are also doing wonders. Something similar happened in a BBL match, when a batsman played a big shot and the fan took the catch outside the boundary, that too with one hand, while holding a can of beer in the other hand.

This scene was seen during the match between Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers in Adelaide. In this match, Adelaide scored 165 runs while batting first. In response to this, when Sydney Thunder was batting, its batsman Nick Maddinson hit a powerful shot. This left-handed batsman hit an excellent pull shot in the 13th over and the ball went outside the deep square leg boundary and went straight into the stands.

Caught a beer and also took a catch

But before the ball could fall, a spectator present there ran and caught the ball with one hand. Now, a fan catching the ball in a cricket match is not a wonderful thing and it happens quite often. But this catch was special because this fan had two cans of beer in one hand and in that situation he took this catch on a big shot. What happened next, the commentators were astonished and whoever saw this catch could not believe it.

Catch of the season!

In whose name was this match?

If we talk about the match, despite this six, Sydney Thunder could not win. Captain David Warner played a fighting inning of 67 runs and remained for the team till the last over but still Sydney had to face defeat by 6 runs. In a way, Warner himself became the reason for this. The team needed 13 runs in the 20th over but Warner could not score any runs on the first 3 balls and then the team got only 6 runs on the next 3 balls. In this way Sydney could reach only 159 runs and lost.
