Sydney Thunders have crumbled for just 15 runs against Adelaide Strikes in the Big Bash League on Saturday.
Chasing 140 set by the Adelaide side, the Thunders got bowled out in 5.5 overs. This is also the lowest score in the history of T20 cricket.
Adelaide Strikers scored 139 for 9 in their 20 overs. Chris Lynn (36 off 27) and Colin de Grandhomme (33 off 24) were the main contributors with the bat for the Strikers. Fazalhaq Farooqi picked up 3 wickets for them.
What looked like a modest total to chase turned out a nightmare for Thunders. Their batters couldn't put up any resistance against the Strikers' bowling as they crumbled for just 15 runs. Henry Thornton picked up 5 wickets for just 3 runs, while Wes Agar picked up 4 wickets for just 5 runs, as the Thunders fell like a house of cards.
The Thunders managed only 1 boundary in their inning, which also was hit by no. 10 batsman Brendan Doggett, who was the highest-scorer for them with a staggering 4 runs.
