Anyone can have a bad day at work. The day when everything you do goes wrong. The same goes for cricket too. This article will discuss those days in the Big Bash League, an Australian domestic tournament.
The entire batting line-up of Sydney Thunder wrapped up for just 15 runs against Adelaide Strikers is the lowest-ever score in Big Bash League. The shocking display by Thunder’s batters is also the lowest-ever score in Men’s T20 history. The entire innings took 31 minutes, again the lowest in terms of time.
(On the contrary, you can find the highest 10 BBL totals here.)
