Everyone was surprised to see Oliver PK’s shot
Aaron Hardy bowled the last over for Perth Scorchers. 4 runs were required from one ball to win. In such situations, even good batsmen get nervous. Normally no batsman does in this situation what Oliver PK did, he went wide and played the shot to fine leg. It was quite risky, but he was fortunate that the ball and bat made good contact. The ball went for a six and Melbourne Renegades won the match by 4 wickets.
Perth Scorchers were bundled out for 127.
