In a meeting between the Perth Scorchers and the Melbourne Renegades at Perth Stadium during the 26th match of the Big Bash League 2024-25, Kane Richardson‘s excellent delivery was one of the highlights of the first innings. The Renegades medium-fast bowler produced a moment of brilliance to dismiss the Perth Scorchers captain Ashton Turner.
Kane Richardson’s masterful delivery sends Ashton Turner packing
It was the seventh over of the Perth Scorchers’ innings when Richardson walked in to bowl Turner. At a good length, the ball again hit the right-handed Turner, who had no choice but to make an ambitious ball. However, with his feet barely moving, Turner left a significant gap between bat and pad, and the ball crashed into the stumps, leaving Turner dazed. The Scorchers skipper was out for just 8 runs off 13 balls, and the Renegades got their fourth wicket of the match.
