Video | Farhaan Behardien rewarded with boundary as fielder loses sight of ball under fading floodlight

Cricket can often play the role of a cruel teacher, constantly reminding us that life just isn’t fair sometimes. The most recent example of the same could be seen in the last night’s encounter between Cape Town Blitz and Mandela Bay Giants game in South Africa’s Mzansi Super League.

Batting First, the Cape Town Blitz side were at 144-4 in the 17th over and were heading towards a decent total with South African batsman Farhaan Behardien new to the crease. Fellow national side teammate was at the bowler's end and on the hunt for a wicket to help his side.

But something rather unusual took place on the fourth delivery of the same over. Behardien swivelled and pull a shot straight to fine leg, where Marco Marais was positioned. However, the fielder could not spot the ball as it landed next to him and bounced over the rope. Dala couldn’t believe his luck as Marais pointed to the lights which apparently caused him to lose focus on the pitch.
