Tim David scored just three runs off one ball in the match

Speaking of the video, the incident took place during the 13th over of Hobart Hurricanes’ innings. Adam Zampa was bowling. Zak Crawley was batting while Tim David was at the non-striker end. On the first delivery of that over, Crawly hit the ball straight to the bowler and Zampa went for the catch. But, he failed to grab, and then, Crawley started to run for a quick single.

David responded well and was looking likely to get into the cease easily. But, he lost hold of the bat and then, tumbled over it. The wicketkeeper took the ball and completed the run out instantly. It was quite an unfortunate dismissal for Tim David. Thus, he went back to the dugout after scoring just three runs off one ball in the match.
