In the match played on August 10 in England's cricket league 'The Hundred', the terror of that player was seen, who was deeply shocked by the death of his friend. That player wreaked such havoc in 20 balls that Birmingham Phoenix had no problem in registering a win against Wales Fire. We are talking about Australian bowler Sean Abbott, whose deadly balls made the path of victory easy for Birmingham Phoenix in the match played against Wales Fire in The Hundred.
Sean Abbott is the same bowler whose bouncer took the life of his fellow cricketer Phil Hughes during a domestic match being played in Australia. That incident which happened on 24 November 2014 shook the entire cricket world.
The effect of Shaun Abbott's bowling in the match started soon after the match started. He bowled so lethally against Wales Fire, who came to bat first, that he took half of their wickets alone. In front of Shaun Abbott's havoc, only one batsman of Wales Fire could cross the threshold of 50 runs.
Thanks to Tom Kohler's 54-run innings, Wales Fire scored 146 runs for 8 wickets in 100 balls. Out of these 8 wickets of Wales Fire, 4 wickets were taken by Shawn Abbott alone. He took 4 wickets for just 16 runs in 20 balls. Due to this amazing performance of Abbott, his team Birmingham Phoenix got a target of less than 150 runs to win.
Birmingham Phoenix had a target of scoring 147 runs in 100 balls. The good thing was that both its openers, captain Moeen Ali and Ben Duckett, gave the team a good start. Both of them together added 114 runs for the opening wicket, which made it even easier for the team to cross the threshold of victory. This pair broke after Moeen Ali was out after scoring 60 runs in 46 balls.
With the efforts of Sean Abbott with the ball and Moeen Ali with the bat, batsman Ben Duckett started the task of leading the team to victory, and he finally finished it. Ben Duckett remained unbeaten after scoring 54 runs in 31 balls. Birmingham Phoenix won the match 7 balls earlier on 93 balls.
