Cricket is known for being unpredictable, where things can change quickly at any moment. Unlike other sports, cricket is affected by many things—like the weather, how the pitch behaves, and even the smallest decisions that can have a big impact.
A batsman who is playing well can suddenly get out by a surprise ball, or a team that seems to be losing can make a comeback with a great catch or a sudden rush of wickets.
This unpredictability keeps fans excited because the outcome isn’t certain until the very last ball is bowled.
An example of this was seen during the Maharaja Trophy tournament, where it took three Super Overs to finally decide the winner. The match between the Bengaluru Blasters and Hubli Tigers made cricket history as it was the first time three Super Overs were needed to break a tie.
In the end, Manish Pandey’s Hubli Tigers won against Mayank Agarwal’s Bengaluru Blasters after the regular 20 overs and two Super Overs couldn’t separate the teams.
The Tigers, batting first, scored 165, and the Blasters came very close with 164. Pandey was the top scorer for the Tigers with 33 runs, while Mayank led the Blasters with 54 runs.
Lavish Kaushal took 5 wickets for the Blasters, and Manvanth Kumar L grabbed 4 wickets for the Tigers.”
