You must have heard the phrase 'nahle pe dhala'. This match is just an example of that. In this match played on Australian soil, a team which is all out in 37.5 overs in ODIs, gets the other team all out one ball earlier i.e. in 37.4 overs and wins the match. Now let us tell you between which two teams this match was played. This match played in Sydney was played between South Australia and Western Australia in the ODI Cup. In this low scoring ODI match played in Australia's domestic cricket, South Australia defeated Western Australia by 2 runs. This victory of South Australia was ensured because the cricketing ability of an engineering student playing from their team proved to be too much for Western Australia.

South Australia collapsed for 166 runs, this bowler took 6 wickets

South Australia, who came to bat first in the match, could not play the full 50 overs and were all out after scoring 166 runs in 37.5 overs. Western Australia's 24-year-old bowler Bryce Jackson played an important role in destroying South Australia's batting, who took 6 wickets for 31 runs in 9 overs in the match. This is the best performance of Bryce Jackson's List A career, which he has made in his second match. Daniel Drew scored the highest 49 runs for South Australia.
