The Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 the season was nothing short of spectacular, with moments of brilliance typical of T20 cricket. One such moment came during a game between Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikersin England Ben Duckett he brought out one of the sports activities.
Ben Duckett takes a stunning catch of D Arcy Short
In what could have been a game changer for the Strikers, Duckett's play changed the game. It happened on the fourth ball of the 14th over bowled by the veteran Peter Siddle. The ship's captain took a load of cargo outside D Arcy Shorttop scorer for Strikers.
Younger, looking to make the most of it, took off his front leg, bent his back leg, and hit the ball with purpose, aiming to send it over the covers for what appeared to be a boundary. However, Duckett, who stood on the extra cover, had different plans. He leaped to perfection, stretched his right arm into the air, and pulled the ball out of thin air with what can only be described as a one-handed screamer.
Here is the video:

Short guide Adelaide Strikers to the elite
Meanwhile, the Adelaide Strikers were making a run, Short at the crease scoring 60 off 42 balls, showing his ability to stop and accelerate the innings. Alex Ross he supported him with 35 from 26 balls, setting up a comprehensive lead. The catch not only halted Short's momentum but also sent panic into the Strikers' camp, resulting in their innings closing at 165/6.
Adam Milne, Peter Siddle star and football
Catching this fish was not as impressive for its sportiness as it was for its importance. With the removal of Short, the power returned to the Melbourne Stars, whose players threw, Adam Milne (2/32) and Siddle (2/21), were just short of beating the Strikers.
