The incident occurred during the eighth over of the Melbourne Stars' innings when captain Marcus Stoinis connected with a powerful shot off the bowling of Tom Rogers. The ball soared high into the air, nearly reaching the roof of the stadium.

When the ball descended, it was caught effortlessly by fielder Kane Richardson near the boundary. The audience gasped in disbelief, unable to comprehend that the ball had remained within the boundary rope.

The Serbian tennis star watched on in astonishment, unable to believe what he had just witnessed. Stoinis also took his time leaving the field, clearly baffled by the unusual dismissal.

Stoinis managed to score only 18 runs off 10 balls, while Glenn Maxwell delivered a remarkable performance, scoring 90 runs off just 52 balls, helping his team reach a total of 165 runs.

Just after completing his half-century, Maxwell smashed a 122-metre six to Kane Richardson in the 17th over of the inning. This is the biggest six of the season so far.

The Harmanpreet Singh-led side scored its first goal just in the second minute of the match via Sukhjeet Singh. This was in fact the first significant chance created in the match by any side.

Kane Richardson, Adam Rogers, Tom Rogers, and Fergus O'Neill each took two wickets in the match. The Melbourne Renegades are at 68 for 4 after 11 overs and require 98 more runs to clinch victory in the remaining nine overs.

This incident has sparked concerns about the appropriateness of using an indoor stadium for cricket matcheslodi casino, which are typically played on open grounds.
