NEW DELHI: In an unusual and rare cricketing incident, Pakistan's Usama Mir was dismissed hit wicket during a The Hundred Men's match between Manchester Originals and Southern Brave at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Thursday. Southern Brave emerged victorious, winning the match by 7 wickets.
The bizarre dismissal took place on the last delivery of the Manchester innings. Chris Jordan bowled a yorker outside the off stump, and Mir, deep inside his crease, inadvertently struck the top of the stumps with his bat while attempting a shot. The right-hander's unexpected dismissal was one of the most peculiar ways a batter can get out.
Usama Mir managed to score 11 runs off seven balls, including two boundaries, before his unusual exit.
Manchester Originals posted a total of 116 for 6, which proved insufficient against the Southern Brave. The Brave chased down the target with ease, securing a comprehensive win by 7 wickets with 22 balls to spare.
Highlighting the unusual nature of the dismissal, The Hundred's official handle on X shared a visual of the incident with the caption: "You don’t see batters get out like this very often! Usama Mir hits his wicket on the final ball of Manchester Originals’ innings."
