Hurricanes penalised for slow over-rate in tight WBBL finish
Original: Hurricanes miss the over-rate cut off and have to bring in an extra fielder. Renegades 150/6 (19.3) need 5 off 3. # WBBL
In a WBBL12 match between the Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades, the Hurricanes were penalised for missing the over-rate cut-off, forcing them to bring in an extra fielder inside the circle. The punishment came at a tense moment, with the Renegades on 150/6 after 19.3 overs, needing just 5 runs off the final 3 balls of the chase.
Why now: A slow over-rate penalty directly influenced a tight last-over finish, making the rule change a talking point among cricket fans
