7 wickets were taken for just 8 runs, batsman trembled with the havoc of the Australian bowler, did this amazing feat

The international cricket calendar is once again in full swing. Top international teams in different parts of the world, including India, are engaged in matches of different formats, which everyone's eyes are on. Apart from this, domestic tournaments are also being held, where some great performances are being seen. One such amazing sight was seen on Monday in Australia's domestic List-A tournament ODI Cup, where fast bowler Sam Elliott took 7 wickets for just 8 runs. After this, he also contributed to the team's victory with the bat.

While the Australian team is currently playing a one-day series on its tour to England, an one-day tournament is also going on at home. In this tournament, Victoria's Sam Elliot created a stir in the match held in Melbourne on Monday, 23 September. Big scores were not made in this match played on the green pitch of Junction Oval in Melbourne and the reason for that was Elliot's deadly bowling. This tall fast bowler destroyed Tasmania's batting and the entire team collapsed for just 126 runs.

Tasmania had lost the wickets of both the openers before Elliott, who came to bowl at number four, wreaked havoc. After this, only Sam Elliott's name kept appearing in front of every wicket on the scoreboard. Elliott, who came to bowl in the 11th over, took a wicket on the very first ball. After this, he took the next 7 wickets in his 8 overs. At one point, Elliott had taken 7 wickets in just 6.2 overs of bowling, while only 8 runs were scored against him. 4 runs came on his last 8 balls and in this way Elliott ended the innings with 7 wickets for 12 runs in 8 overs. This bowling of Elliott is the second best performance in the 55-year history of the ODI Cup.

However, Elliott failed to equal the record made 20 years ago. In 2004, Australia's dashing pacer Shaun Tait took 8 wickets for 43 runs. He also left behind Australian cricket's legendary bowlers like Josh Hazlewood (7/36) and Mitchell Starc (6/25). If this was not enough, Elliott then made a significant contribution in batting as well and led the team to victory.

During the run chase, Victoria had lost 6 wickets for just 72 runs when Elliott came to bat at number 8. He played an unbeaten innings of 19 runs off 28 balls and along with captain Will Sutherland (36), led the team to victory.
