PSL 2022: Ben Cutting survives after Kamran Akmal knocks off bails, wife Erin Holland is relieved

Australia all-rounder Ben Cutting is currently featuring in the seven edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). He is playing for the Peshawar Zalmi and was involved in a hilarious incident while batting on Friday. He seemed to have got out while facing the spinner Mohammad Nabi but in the end, it came to light that wicketkeeper Mohammad Kamran Akmal had knocked off the bails by mistake.

During this incident, Cutting’s wife Erin Holland’s reaction has gone viral who was distraught thinking that her husband got out. However, in the end she was relieved to know that Cutting was still at the crease. Holland, meanwhile, is also working as an anchor in the ongoing PSL edition but is staying in a different bubble than Ben Cutting.

The incident took place in the 14th over of the innings, when Cutting tried to cut off the back foot off Mohammad Nabi. While he couldn’t connect the ball cleanly and it rolled on after hitting his pads, at the same time the bails fell off its groove. Many felt that the Australia batter played the ball onto his stumps.

However, a few seconds later, Karachi Kings keeper Kamran Akmal confirmed that his hands had disturbed the bails and it brought a big sigh of relief on the face of Erin Holland who was distraught thinking that her cricketer husband got out. As soon as she got to know that Cutting was not-out, a big beaming smile was back on her face.

Meanwhile, Cutting got out after scoring 24 runs off 22 balls in his innings with one massive six and he did help his side get to a decent total which eventually resulted in a win.

Here’s the video:

As far as the match is concerned, Cutting’s franchise Peshawar Zalmi reigstered their second win in PSL 2022 and have moved to the fourth position in the points table after a 9-run win over the Karachi Kings. They had to battle hard for the win as Babar Azam showed up a real fight with an unbeaten 90 and Mohammad Umar’s three-wicket spell took his side over the line. Karachi Kings have now lost all their four matches and things are not looking good for them at the moment.
