The nasty collision happened in the 16th over of the Perth Scorchers' innings as both Sydney Thunder players sprinted towards a high ball hit over mid-wicket by Cooper Connolly in Perth. Neither noticed the other’s approach, leading to a head-on crash that left both cricketers sprawled on the ground. They were quickly taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
