In a crucial ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2024 knockout between Perth Scorchers and Adelaide Strikers, the latter find themselves in deep trouble that came courtesy of some poor batting and slick fielding by the fielding side.

Asked to bat, the Strikers lost both openers captain Matthew Short and D Arcy Short, and batter Thomas Kelly swiftly which witnessed wicketkeeper-batter Harry Nielsen out in the middle. However, after adding just one run, a poor judgment on the part of Nielsen and brilliant fielding by Scorchers captain Aaron Hardie broke the stand.

Nielsen, who appeared to get things going for himself, placed the ball straight towards Hardie stationed at covers and found himself well short at the non-striker's end, where a bullet throw from the Scorchers' skipper ended the former's three-ball stay.

As of writing, Strikers have managed to score 143 for seven in 19 overs, and have Henry Thornton, and David Payne batting in the middle on 27* and 3*, respectively. 

Jake Weatherald helped the club reach past 100 runs, scoring a 32-ball 56, laced with eight fours and two sixes, while for Scorchers Hardie also starred with the ball, picking up two wickets in three overs.
