On February 21, 2026, a One Day Cup match between Western Australia and Victoria at the WACA Ground featured an unusual moment that caught everyone’s attention. The match showcased a remarkable incident involving a six that was anything but ordinary.
Sam Fanning’s Surprising Six
Western Australia aimed for a target of 231 runs, with openers Sam Fanning and Curtis at the crease. During the first over, bowled by Cameron McClure, Fanning faced a short-pitched delivery outside the off stump.
Surprisingly, Fanning chose not to play a shot. As he turned away, the ball made contact with his bat and flew over the wicketkeeper, resulting in a six. There were no fielders nearby to catch it.
Despite not intending to score, Fanning achieved the maximum runs possible. The audience at WACA was left in disbelief and amusement as they watched the replay of the ball hitting his bat.
