One of the oldest and most prestigious leagues of Women's franchise T20 tournaments in the world, the WBBL marked the most bizarre moment in its history. During a game between the Adelaide Strikers and the Hobart Hurricanes Women, the match had to be called off midway after the roller pressed a stray ball into the track.
WBBL 2025 has already marked many such bizarre incidents and extraordinary situations in matches related to the Adelaide Strikers. However, the latest one will remain the most memorable thing to have occurred over the years.
The Adelaide Strikers did a commendable enough job with the bat, as Madeline Penna batted throughout 20 overs of the Strikers' innings and guided them off safely to 167. However, the innings break turned out to be one of cricket's most memorable moments.
During this period, a ball was misfielded and found its way underneath the heavy roller as it rolled the pitch. With the force from the roller, it could be seen, as stated by Hobart skipper Elyse Villani, that the ball smushed down the track and hence, play had to be called off.
"Tahila McGrath and I were asked to see the hole, and it was quite large, and the depth, as you can imagine, was the size of the outside of the ball. It was a rather large hole," said she after witnessing the bizarre incident at the Karen Rolton Oval.

Adelaide Strikers games witnessed the third call-off in the WBBL season
The big Australian all-rounder, Tahila McGrath, leads the Adelaide Strikers as their captain in the Women's Big Bash League. Under her leadership, the team has performed in a mediocre manner with 9 points in the bag.
After having played 9 games in the season already, Adelaide could manage only 3 wins, as three of their games have been washed out. But luckily for them, every washed-out game before the latest one was seemingly not going in the Strikers' favour.
