BBL 2022 : Lowest bbl score | Sydney Thunder

Sydney Thunder crumbled in remarkable style against Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League on Friday, to record the lowest score ever in men’s professional T20 cricket history.

Strikers had won the toss and chosen to bat first amassing 139 for 9.  Sydney Thunder lost by 124 runs.

Henry Thornton and Wes Agar bowled sensational spells and ended up picking five wickets and four wickets respectively.

Sydney Thunder lost a couple of early wickets due to some brilliance in the field by the Strikers fielders, but Thornton and Agar ripped them apart thereafter.

Lowest bbl score 

In one of those ‘it really happened’ moments, Adelaide Strikers dismissed Sydney Thunder at the score of 15 inside 35 deliveries, the lowest total in senior T20 cricket history.

The previous lowest total in Big Bash history was 57 from Melbourne Renegades against Stars in 2015.

Thunder’s total of 15 is now also the lowest score in professional cricket since 1983 and the equal seventh lowest all time. The previous lowest total in professional T20 cricket was 21 from Turkey against Czech Republic. 

Chasing 140, five of the Sydney Thunder batters couldn’t open their account, while three fell for only the score of one as number 10, Brendan Doggett (4) scored the highest in a never seen before collapse.

Henry Thornton was the pick of the bowlers for Adelaide Strikers, picking five wickets in his spell of 2.5 overs in which he gave away only three runs.

Wes Agar picked four wickets in his two overs while Matthew Short also featured on the wickets tally as Strikers sealed a 124-run win inside the powerplay.

Receiving his player of the match award, Thornton said, “Have no clue what’s going on, it’s amazing. We thought they bowled really, really well considering what the wicket was doing, but we hung in there long enough. Haven’t seen anything similar to this ever, unbelievable stuff to be honest.”

The team had a total of five ducks. Henry Thornton scalped 5 wickets while Wes Agar took 4 wickets. Brendan Doggett of Thunders scored 4 runs and was the highest scorer from the team.

In what can only be called a shocking day out, one of most decorated teams in BBL history, Sydney Thunder folded out for just 15 runs in a chase of 140 vs Adelaide Strikers. 

Also the fact that the lineup consisted of Alex Hales, Rilee Rossouw and Daniel Sams speaks volumes of how embarrassing this defeat will be Sangha-led side. 

The team had a total of five ducks. Henry Thornton scalped 5 wickets while Wes Agar took 4 wickets. Brendan Doggett of Thunders scored 4 runs and was the highest scorer from the team. 

Batting first, Strikers did not start well, but Chris Lynn stabilised the ship with 36 off 27 deliveries. de Grandhomme then chipped in with 33 off 24 deliveries and the team ended up getting 139 on board. 

If at the halfway mark, if anyone would have told Sydney that they would be chasing 140, they would have happily taken it. Little did they know the kind of storm they were about to be hit with. 

Sydney Thunder will next take on Melbourne Renegades on December 17, while Adelaide Strikers will again go head-to-head with Sydney Thunder on December 20.
