New Delhi. We all see two teams clashing on the cricket field every day, but on Friday, two players clashed in a life-threatening way in Perth. The clash between Daniel Sam and Cameron Bancroft was so serious that they had to be immediately taken to the hospital. The condition of both is said to be serious, but out of danger.

Daniel Sam and Cameron Bancroft clashed in the Big Bash League match between Sydney Thunders and Perth Scorchers. When the Perth Scorchers team was batting, Daniel Sam and Bancroft collided while trying to take a catch. This incident happened in the 16th over. After this the game had to be stopped for some time.

Seeing the critical condition of Daniel Sam and Cameron Bancroft, they were immediately taken to the hospital. Big Bash League has informed on social media that both are out of danger. Both are conscious and talking.

Cooper Connolly's catch proved fatal.
The 16th over of Perth Scorcher's innings was bowled by South Africa's Lockie Ferguson. Cooper Connolly chipped the second ball of the over to midwicket. The ball went in the air, and Daniel Sam and Cameron Bancroft ran face to face to catch it. Both had their eyes on the ball and they failed to see that the other fielder was also trying to catch it. Due to this, both the players collided badly.
