Unique Records of Cricket: Many strange records are seen in the game of cricket. But such a feat has been done in ODI cricket which is difficult to believe. In a match of Australia's One Day Cup, 8 batsmen were out for one run. The entire team was reduced to a score of just 53 runs. The opposing team won the match in just 51 balls.
Account of 7 batsmen not opened
A shameful record has been made by the Western Australia team. This team, which came to bat first, was reduced to a score of just 53. The interesting thing is that the openers of this team together had scored 52 runs. But after this the entire team fell apart like a pack of cards. 8 batsmen together managed to score only 1 run. The team's score was 52 after losing 2 wickets and the entire team collapsed on 53 runs. The accounts of 7 batsmen were also not opened.
2 bowlers did miracles
Just two bowlers destroyed Western Australia. Bowlers named Billy Stanlake and Beau Webster made Western Australia's batsmen crave for one run each with their lethal bowling. Webster's fast bowling proved to be like balls of fire. He spent only 17 runs and took 6 wickets in his 6 over spell. On the other hand, Stanlake had shown the way to the pavilion by giving away 12 runs in 43 balls to 3 batsmen.

But this team had made it in 1969.
