WATCH: Qais Ahmad stuns Shaun Marsh and Ben McDermott with bouncer in Big Bash League

Qais Ahmad stuns Shaun Marsh and Ben McDermott: The Hurricanes’ spinner bowled a surprising bouncer to the Renegades’ batsman.

During the 11th match of the ongoing ninth season of the Big Bash League between Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades in Hobart, Hobart Hurricanes spinner Qais Ahmad bowled a surprising bouncer to Melbourne Renegades batsman Shaun Marsh.

It all happened on the second delivery of the ninth over when Ahmad stunned one and all with a 121.6 kph bouncer. Other than the batsman Marsh, Hobart wicket-keeper and captain Ben McDermott was also left flabbergasted as he ended up missing the ball altogether.

While the batting side got four byes as a result, there is no surety if Ahmad had signaled about bowling the bouncer to McDermott beforehand.

Being introduced into the attack right after the powerplay, Ahmad registered economical bowling figures of 4-0-23-1. After Renegades captain Aaron Finch won the toss and elected to bat, the visitors were bundled out for 147 in 19.1 overs.

A 74-run stand for the second wicket between Finch (50) and Marsh (37) did build the platform for the others to bank upon but it wasn’t the case.

Having picked up bowling figures of 3-0-15-3, Hurricanes pacer Nathan Ellis was the pick of their bowlers. Apart from Ellis, pacers Riley Meredith and James Faulkner also dismissed three opposition batsmen each.
