The sixer landed in a cup of beer a fan in attendance was having.
The match was completely one-sided as Hurricanes won it with a comprehensive margin of 21 runs. However, an incident that grabbed everyone’s attention from the encounter was a six from Hurricanes’ Dawid Malan that landed in a cup of beer a fan in attendance was having.
During the 6th over of first innings, Malan smoked seamer Lance Morris over the fine leg for a maximum. One of the fans tried to pluck it but fumbled and dropped the catch. Moments later, he raised his hands in elation as the ball fell in the beer cup of the guy next to him.
When Melbourne Stars’ fielder Sam Rainbird tried to get the ball back, the old man with beer cup refused and went on to gulp the drink down his thirsty throat as the crowd, players and the commentators were left in splits.
While he threw the ball back after his finishing his drink, it was not fit for play anymore and the umpires had to bring a new cherry.
