In a scary incident during the Women's Big Bash League match, Adelaide Strikers wicketkeeper Bridget Patterson was taken off the field after being hit by the ball on the face. During the fourth over of the run chase, Strikers seamer Darcie Brown produced a cross-seam delivery that beat the outside edge of Sixers captain Ellyse Perry, with the ball bouncing awkwardly in front of Patterson.

The 30-year-old immediately hit the turf in pain after being struck near the right eye socket, with medical staff rushing onto the field. With blood visible near the wound, she left the field for further medical attention as reserve wicketkeeper Ellie Johnston replaced her behind the stumps. Patterson however later returned to the field to take her place.

Patterson had replaced Tegan McPharlin as the Strikers wicketkeeper last summer. She went onto take nine catches and inflict 12 stumpings as the Adelaide Strikers secured its second straight WBBL title.
