van Schalkwyk to Milantha, 1 run, OUT
ONE BUT NOT TWO, LAKR WIN THEIR MAIDEN MLC TITLE IN THEIR FIRST FINAL! The entire team is running on adrenaline, Bravo’s beating them all. Now he’s dancing with the team, fireworks go off. Ponting’s stoic but you can feel the dismay. It was that close. This looked like two when Milantha reached forward and got the yorker towards the vacant mid-on area despite being early into the shot. He had to cover a greater distance than the non-striker, who started early. Schalkwyk ran back towards the ball like his life depended on it. Throw was wide to the keeper, the fielder at the non-striker’s took off the bails in sheer adrenaline. Hamilton, in front of the stumps, reached out and took out the stumps like Buttler did in the 2019 WC final.
