Tim Southee cleans up Ben Stokes

One of the highlights of the match was a spectacular delivery from Birmingham Phoenix pacer Tim Southee, which dismissed Northern Superchargers batter Ben Stokes for a golden duck. The incident occurred on the 21st ball of the Northern Superchargers’ innings.

Southee, the experienced New Zealand bowler, delivered a brilliant length ball that sharply jagged back. Stokes, caught off guard, missed the inside edge, and the ball went on to hit the top of the off-stump. The England Test skipper was left in disbelief as he walked back to the pavilion without scoring. His reaction, a mix of shock and frustration, clearly showed he couldn’t believe he had been dismissed so quickly and without troubling the scorers.
