In a moment that took the cricketing world by surprise, Finn Allen’s unusual dismissal in the 2023 Major League Cricket (MLC) match between San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) and Seattle Orcas (SEO) has gone viral on social media, g??enerating?? a buzz among fans.

The incident unfolded during the fourth over of the Unicorns’ run-chase of 177. Cameron Gannon, the Orcas’ fast bowler, delivered the second ball of his over to Allen, who played a defensive shot towards mid-on and seemed to take a casual stroll.

However, Shehan Jayasuriya, displaying exceptional awareness, swiftly picked up the ball and hit the stumps direc??tly, catching Allen short of? his crease.

While the fielders found humour in the situation and shared a laugh, Allen appeared stunned and bewildered by?? the unexpected turn ??of events.

Alan Wilkins, commenting on the match, expressed his disappointment with the young New Zealand player, describing the dismissal as “just comedy”.

This marked Allen’s second consecutive disappointment after his score of 10 (5) against MI New York in the Unicorns’ opening game of the tournament.

Here’s the video:
