In the ongoing International League T20 (ILT20) tournament in the UAE, group stage matches are capturing the spotlight as teams vie for supremacy. One incident during the match on January 22 between the Desert Vipers and Sharjah Warriors caught everyone’s attention, showcasing a bizarre moment where Sharjah’s batsman unintentionally pushed his own teammate. This mishap occurred during an intense play, leading to an almost disastrous run-out situation that left spectators both amused and bewildered.
Near Disaster on the Pitch
During the match, Sharjah Warriors struggled with their batting, finding themselves in a tough spot with just 30 runs on the board and 5 wickets already down. England’s Jason Roy stepped in as a super sub and began stabilizing the innings, moving the team’s score past 50. However, chaos ensued in the 13th over when an innocent play almost turned catastrophic. On the fourth delivery bowled by Dan Lawrence, Roy attempted to steal a run by tapping the ball towards point. In a moment of distraction, teammate Harmeet Singh lost focus on the pitch and collided with Roy while running, resulting in a heavy shove that sent Roy sprawling.
