In the 11th Match of ongoing Big Bash League (BBL), Sydney Sixers’ all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite justified his introduction into the attack by removing Adelaide Strikers’ skipper Alex Carey on the very first ball of his over.
Bowling from round the wicket, Brathwaite brought the delivery into the left-handed Carey and broke the latter’s defence to hit the off-stump.
During the 178-run chase, captain Carey walked back to the dug-ou💖t for just 9. Brathwaite, on the other hand, registered bowling figures of 4/23.
Alex Carey’s dismissal:
Where's Popey for the celebration?!
