In the heart of a gripping series decider between Australia Women (AUS-W) and South Africa Women (SA-W), a moment of sheer cricketing comedy unfolded that left fans in awe and stitches. Alana King, the Aussie all-rounder, became the unwitting protagonist in an unprecedented incident, where she not only smashed a no-ball for a six but also managed to hit her own wickets in the same delivery. It was a sequence of events that left spectators simultaneously amazed and in fits of laughter.

Aussie dominance with the bat: Beth Mooney shines

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Australia set the stage on fire with a formidable total of 277/9 in their allotted 50 overs. Alyssa Healy (60) and Beth Mooney (82*) laid the foundation for the innings, while contributions from Tahlia McGrath and Annabel Sutherland further propelled the Aussie total. However, it was the late fireworks provided by King (17) that etched her into the memory of fans for an utterly unique reason.

Alana King’s unforgettable cameo

As the Aussie innings headed towards its climax, King stepped up for a quick cameo comprising two sixes. Little did anyone expect that her brief stay at the crease would turn into one of the most bizarre moments in cricketing history.

The triple whammy: A six off a no ball and hit wicket at the same time

It all happened when Proteas bowler Masabaata Klaas delivered a full-toss delivery fired above the waist to King, who found herself in the middle of a cricketing maelstrom with the umpire declaring it a no-ball straightaway and unleashing her power, smashing the no-ball for a colossal six that had the fans on their feet.

However, the drama didn’t end there as in an astonishing turn of events, Alana’s exuberance got the better of her, and as she swung her bat with gusto, she inadvertently sent the bails flying. The players in the dugout and the bewildered spectators all found themselves in disbelief and uncontrollable laughter after witnessing a no-ball, a six, and a hit wicket, all in a single delivery.
