Oshane Thomas Concedes 22 Runs Off One Ball in CPL
Oshane Thomas endured a memorable yet painful night in the CPL 2025, conceding a jaw-dropping 22 runs off a single legal delivery—a record few will ever forget. What began as the 15th over transformed into a chaotic mix of no-balls and free hits, allowing Ramsario Shepherd to turn one ball into three sixes. T20 cricket’s unpredictability was on full display, reminding fans that a single delivery can swing a match.
How 22 Runs Came Off One Legal Delivery
In a jaw-dropping moment in the 15th over against Guyana Amazon Warriors, Thomas’s over turned into a nightmare start. Romario Shepherd faced the third ball, and Thomas delivered a front-foot no-ball—free hit awarded. What followed:
- The free hit was sent for six.
- Before a proper delivery could occur, another no-ball occurred—also punished for six.
- A third no-ball and a second soaring six each added seven runs.
- Finally, when a legal delivery arrived, Shepherd smashed it for a massive six again.
In one legal ball, Shepherd collected 22 runs via three successive sixes, all stemming from extra deliveries. The over ended costing Thomas a colossal 33 runs in total.
Aftermath and Match Impact
Romario Shepherd’s blitzkrieg concluded with a brutal 73 off 34 balls, ensuring Guyana posted a formidable 202/6. St Lucia Kings, however, held their nerve. Akeen Auguste’s dynamic 73 off 35 guided them to a thrilling victory in 18.1 overs.
For Thomas, the figures read 1/63 in 4 overs, making this one of the most bizarre and expensive overs in T20 history.
Why This Incident Stands Out
T20 cricket is filled with outrageous events, yet this one stood out for its rarity. Very few bowlers in cricket history have conceded more than 20 runs from a single delivery. The combination of repeated no-balls and a relentless middle-order batter turned one ball into a game-changer.
Reaction & Records Broken
— Romario Shepherd stamped his power with a standout knock, earning plaudits for his ability to punish even extra deliveries.
— Oshane Thomas experienced a career moment he’d rather forget. His over will go down as one of the most expensive and unusual in T20 annals.
Conclusion
Oshane Thomas’s over in CPL 2025 became instantly iconic—for the wrong reasons. Relinquishing 22 runs from one delivery in a T20 game is almost unheard of. It highlights how in T20 cricket, the line between mastery and mayhem can blur in an instant. Amid all the drama, Shepherd’s firepower and St Lucia’s composure turned chaos into a memorable win.
