In the 23rd match of The Hundred League 2025, defending champions Oval Invincibles continued their scintillating form, overpowering an in-form Trent Rockets side with a comfortable chase. Among all the thrilling moments that left fans completely stunned, one stood out when Jordan Cox made a brilliant direct throw to run out a key player.

The moment unfolded in the 99th delivery of the first innings when Australian powerhouse Stoinis was desperately attempting a quick second run. Facing a low full toss from Tom Curran, the hard-hitting batsman had stabbed the ball towards long-off. Stoinis and his partner, Sam Hain, were keen for the extra run, but it was a decision they would soon regret. From the deep, fielder Cox swiftly gathered the ball and released an arrow-like throw. The ball flew with superb accuracy and perfectly hit the stumps at Stoinis’s end as he scrambled back. A visibly disappointed Stoinis was left stranded, dismissed for 12 runs. The brilliant run-out was followed by animated celebrations from Cox with a signal of money.
