Watch: Sean Abbott takes blinder of a catch against Melbourne Renegades in Big Bash League 2022-23

Recently, former Big Bash League champions, Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades in the ongoing 12th season of the tournament. It was a low-scoring encounter with the Sixers winning by 34 runs. Batting first, the Pink Brigade (Sixers) batted first after losing the toss. They amassed 149/8 with Josh Phillipe (55) scoring a fifty. None of the other batters could cross the 30-run mark.

In reply, the 2018-19 winners, the Renegades kept losing wickets which is they were never in the game. Meanwhile, in the 17th over of the game, Sydney all-rounder, Sean Abbott took a screamer at a boundary under the lights. Apparently, Will Sutherland played a lofted cut shot over point. The ball went high and didn’t have the distance to sail over the boundary.

Abbott ran and took a great catch to end Sutherland’s innings.
