BBL, Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades: Jason Behrendorff Castles Batter With Out-Swinging Yorker. Watch | Cricket News

Perth Scorchers consolidated their position on top of the Big Bash League (BBL) points table on Wednesday, defeating Melbourne Renegades by 21 runs at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Other than Mitchell Marsh’sblistering 86-run knock, there were plenty of highlights for the Scorchers in their victory. One such moment was during the second innings when Melbourne’s opener Mackenzie Harvey was dismissed for a two-ball duck. In the second delivery of the first over, Harvey received a full delivery, on middle, by Jason Behrendorff. The batter went forward to defend but the ball swung late to go past him and hit the middle and off stumps. Scorchers were 0/1 at that time.

Here is the video of Behrendorff’s out-swinging yorker which got the wicket of the 21-year-old:
