The match which was being played at the Docklands stadium in Melbourne, saw the ball hit the roof of the ground after getting smacked by batter Cooper Connolly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ball travelled high enough to touch the roof before coming straight back down at tremendous pace. Bowler Kane Richardson tried catching the ball as it came down, however failed to do so and instead ended up causing discomfort to his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data- data-lang=\"en\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BALL HIT ON THE ROOF IN BIG BASH. \ud83e\udd2f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RlS4qwq3u4\">pic.twitter.com\/RlS4qwq3u4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Johns.

Earlier, such an incident would result in the batting side being given 6 runs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had there been no roof, Richardson may have ended up taking a simple catch to send Connolly back to the dugout. It is safe to say that both Connolly and the Perth Scorchers got very lucky here and the left-handed batter eventually went on to play an impressive inning of 66 runs, helping his side reach a fighting total of 143 in 20 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the target of 144 wouldn&#8217;t prove to be enough for the Perth-based franchise as the Melbourne Renegades chased it with an over to spare thanks to important cameos from Tim Seifert (28) and Jacob Bethell (30).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the clash between Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers, batter
