The Match no 21 between Desert Vipers and MI Emirates gave the fans worth of their every penny as they got to see a high-scoring affair.

Among the many big hits which were witnessed during the game, one particular shot from Dan Mousely caught the attention of fans as it went out of the stadium. The incident took place on the third ball of the 18th over of the first innings bowled by Matheesha Pathirana. Mousely sent the ball over deep backward square leg which landed outside the stadium. The ball was collected by a fan, who was roaming outside the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and kept it with him as a souvenir.

Later in the innings in the 19th over, Kieron Pollard hit a 104-meter six which went into the streets again. However, this time some other fan was seen throwing the ball back into the ground.
