Cricketers, leapfrogging the boundary banners, and barging into the empty stands wꦚhenever any batsmen dispatch the ball✨ outside the fence, is the new normal in the post-pandemic era.
Earlier, spectators would🃏 do the job by throwing the ball back to the ground. But in closed-door matches, this🗹 is not possible.
During a match between Jamaica Tallawahs (JT) and Barbados Tridents (BT) in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2020, a hilarious incident involving Carlos Brathwaite was observed as he had to do the spectators’ job.
In the 15th over of the match, Tridents’ all-rounder Mitchel Santner smashed a massive six towards long-on which forced Brathwaite to climb 𓂃to the stands to feꦡtch the ball.
Brathwaite was then seen roaming around the empty stadium afte෴r failing to trace the ball initially.
CPL shared the funny clips on their official Twitter handle and wrote: “Someone please help @TridentSportsX find the ball#CPL20 #CricketPlayedLouder”
Some one please help find the ball 😋😂😂😂

Tallawahs seals semi-final spot despite a loss
Batting first, Tallawahs set up a challenging total of 161/4, courtesy a brilliant half-century from Jermain🧸e Blackwood(74) and an explosive cameo from Andre Russell (54) down th♑e order.
Chasing 162, Tridents had a shaky start as they l🎃ost two wickets insജide the first two overs.
Thereafter, Jonathan Carter (42*) and Jason Holder (69) stitched a vital partnership to bring BT back into the game. Santner (35 off 21 balls) added the finishing touch and guided Tridents to their third victory of the season.
Despite the loss, JT haಌs qualified for the next stage of the tournament.⛄ They will be up against Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the semi-final of the league.
On the other hand, the Tridents failed🤪 to qualify after finishing ✅fifth in the points table.
