In cricket, a player’s ability is important, but sometimes luck also plays an important role in the game. Australian batsman Steve Smith proved to be lucky in the Big Bash League (BBL) on Wednesday. He performed an amazing turn in Sydney Sixers’ match against Adelaide Strikers when he narrowly missed being bowled.
In this match, Smith, as an opener, scored 52 runs in 31 balls with the help of 2 fours and 4 sixes. There came a moment during his innings, when the ball was going towards the stumps.

The video of this amazing moment of Smith is going viral on social media. Cricket fans appreciated his brilliant save. One user wrote, “Steve Smith has made an amazing save.” Another said, “The bat did wonders.”
Sydney Sixers did not make a good start while chasing the target of 183 runs. Josh Philip (8) and Jack Edwards (8) were out early, but Smith took the lead and took the team forward. However, he became the victim of Jamie Overton in the ninth over, and Sydney Sixers lost 5 wickets for 92 runs.
