Only five runs were needed in the last over but the opposing team won the match by taking six wickets in six balls


There is nothing new in the world of cricket, and one such incident happened in a match of Australian club cricket. In the Gold Coast Premier League Division Three, Surfers Paradise Club's side had a close-fought victory against Mudgeeraba, chasing a target of 179 runs, needing just five runs from the last over with six wickets to spare. were But Madgiraba captain Gareth Morgan took six wickets in six balls to not only win but also took everyone by surprise. "It's funny, the umpire told me at the start of the over that I have to score a hat-trick to win the match," Morgan told the Gold Coast Bulletin. Advertisement "When it was done, they just stared at me. The chaos started when Jack Garland, the team's opener, bounced the ball straight to mid-wicket and was dismissed for 65 runs. The next two batsmen were caught out at mid-on and mid-wicket. By this time three wickets had fallen in a row but Morgan was not done yet. "I remember thinking after the hat-trick that I don't want to lose this match anymore," says Morgan. Then it became madness. When the next batsmen were out, eight players of the Surfers Paradise team were out for 174 runs. Morgan needed no further help from his teammates in the field after that, clean-bowling the last two batsmen. "I couldn't believe it when I saw the stumps go back on the last ball, I've never seen anything like that," he said. But this is not the first time that Morgan has bowled so brilliantly. On the club's Facebook page, Morgan's father wrote that 'Morgan once took five wickets in an over but could not take six because there were only five wickets left at the start of the over.
