A never-before-seen incident stopped play during a Big Bash League (BBL) game at the Gabba in Brisbane on Thursday. A fire broke out near the DJ booth during the Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricane match, causing alarm and forcing the authorities to evacuate the spectators and stop the play for some time.
The incident happened when the Hurricanes were cruising at 47 for no loss after four overs in reply to the Heat’s 201-6. Play was halted when smoke and fire were seen coming out from the DJ booth. “Several concerned staff tried in vain to put the fire out, but luckily no one was hurt during the chaotic incident,” reported Fox Cricket.
Videos of smokes coming out from the DJ booth went viral.
