Rare rule condemns Big Bash side dudded by own last-ball appeal

  • On Wednesday, the Melbourne Renegades secured a thrilling four-wicket victory over the Hobart Hurricanes at Bellerive Oval after a rare stumping rule denied the Hurricanes a potential Super Over finish.
  • Captain Nicola Carey led the Hurricanes to 154 runs, top-scoring with 62 from 43 balls, while the Renegades initially cruised to 1-101 in the 13th over before a middle-order collapse left them needing seven runs.
  • A fielding restriction penalty for slow over rates limited Hobart to two fielders outside the circle for the final three balls, complicating their defense during the climactic finish.
  • Replays showed wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee's gloves were in front of the stumps when collecting the final delivery, prompting umpires to dock the Hurricanes a no-ball and award the Renegades the winning run.
  • Australian captain Sophie Molineux shone for the victors, taking 4/22 and reaching her 100th WBBL wicket, as this result marks the Renegades' first win of the season while the Hurricanes remain winless after three matches.
