Callum Ferguson gets run-out in an unfortunate manner: Thunder’s captain was left disappointed by his misfortune at the Manuka Oval.

During the 37th match of the ongoing ninth season of the Big Bash League between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades in Canberra, Sydney Thunder captain Callum Ferguson found a really unfortunate way of getting run-out.

It all happened on the penultimate delivery of the third over when Sydney opening batsman Alex Hales hit hard an Andrew Fekete delivery back to him.

In what was a case of the bowler trying to evade from the ball, he ended up guiding it back to the stumps at the non-striker’s end. With Ferguson out of his crease in his follow through, he had no time whatsoever to return back to the crease.

Coming in to bat at No. 3 in the second over, Ferguson ended up scoring 7 (7) as the hosts lost their second wicket after opening batsman Usman Khawaja was dismissed without scoring.

Chasing a 173-run target, Sydney lost three wickets in the powerplay before rain halted the match. With Hales and Alex Ross in the middle, Thunder would be hoping for them to seal the new target (mentioned in the tweet below).

After Renegades captain Daniel Christian won the toss and chose to bat, the visitors scored 172/4 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. Coming in to bat at No. 3 in the eighth over, wicket-keeper batsman Sam Harper top-scored with 52 (38) with the help of three fours and two sixes. With bowling figures of 4-0-23-2, Sydney spinner Liam Bowe was their best bowler.
