In a bizarre turn of events during the first ODI between Australia and the West Indies, wicketkeeper Josh Inglis found himself in the midst of a hilarious yet unfortunate mix-up on the field. The incident unfolded in the 46th over as the West Indies batted first in Melbourne.

The calamity began when Travis Head executed a brilliant save, diving to retrieve the ball before swiftly throwing it to Inglis, positioned near the stumps. What followed left the crowd in disbelief as Inglis, attempting a run-out, failed miserably to dislodge the bails despite putting in a dive of his own.

 The West Indies batter, miles away from the crease, escaped unscathed, leaving Inglis with a perplexed expression and a smile on his face, almost as if questioning his own misfortune.


The comedic blunder added a touch of amusement to an otherwise intense clash between the two cricketing giants. As the incident played out, Inglis was left pondering how he could let such a golden opportunity slip through his gloves, showcasing the lighter side of the game.

Earlier in the match, West Indies managed to post a total of 231 runs, with Kaecy Carty leading the charge with a resilient 88-run knock. Roston Chase contributed a valuable 59 runs, but the middle order struggled to make an impact. Australia's debutant Xavier Bartlett shone with a four-wicket haul, while Sean Abbott and Cameron Green claimed two wickets each.

As Australia now sets out to chase down 232 runs in 50 overs, the spotlight remains on Inglis and his quest for redemption, hoping to turn the tide in favor of the home team and secure a 1-0 lead in the series.
