An Australian club cricketer pulled off an amazing feat in a weekend one-day game, securing victory with a rare performance. Facing a tough situation in the Gold Coast’s Premier League Division 3, Mudgeeraba captain Gareth Morgan decided to bowl the last six balls himself. Surfers Paradise needed five runs to win with six wickets in hand, but Morgan turned the game around by taking six wickets in six consecutive balls.

Describing the experience as “surreal,” Morgan shared that the umpire jokingly told him at the beginning of the over that he needed a hat-trick to win the game. The captain delivered beyond expectations by dismissing opener Jake Garland for 65 and the next five batters for golden ducks.

Reflecting on the moment, Morgan expressed his disbelief, saying, “When I saw the stumps go back on the last ball, I couldn’t believe it; I’ve never seen anything like it.” The first four dismissals were catches, and the last two were bowled.

This extraordinary achievement by the Australian cricketer surpasses the most wickets taken in a single over in professional cricket, a record held by Neil Wagner of New Zealand (2011), Al-Amin Hossain of Bangladesh (2013), and Abhimanyu Mithun of India (2019), each with five wickets in an over, according to ABC.
