Tasmania and Western Australia match

Now the question is why did this happen? So before reaching the answer to this question, it is important to take a look at the situation of the competition. Batting first in the match, Tasmania scored 277 runs. In response, Western Australia scored 332 runs in the first innings and thus took a lead of 55 runs in the first innings. Tasmania's second innings was reduced to 137 runs and Western Australia got an easy target of 83 runs to win.

Target chase, still match continues… umpires made a blunder

Western Australia team achieved the target of 83 runs by losing 4 wickets. But, what happened was that neither the umpire nor the players remembered the target. Hence, the match continued even after the target was chased. And, then something was seen which had rarely been seen before in the history of cricket.
