Ellyse Perry fell at the crucial juncture of the game. During the 12th over of Australia’s innings, Amelia Kerr bowled a full toss outside the leg stump to which the batter went for a sweep shot. She failed to keep an eye on the ball while moving forward.
Australia’s star cricketer Ellyse Perry was left bamboozled by a delivery from New Zealand star cricketer Amelia Kerr during the second T20I that took place in Harrup Park in Australia on Sunday. Perry, who was batting on 34, looked to scalp the pace and play an orthodox sweep shot against the spinners. However, the ball ended up landing on her boot, which was then lobbed the ball to the wicketkeeper’s hands. Following this shot, the RCB batter might have lost the balance in the crucial game, which resulted in her going out of the crease area, prompting the stumping by the wicketkeeper.
