The former Australian international, David Warner seems to be having a tough time in the franchise cricket setup. The left-handed opening batter who is currently playing for the Bulawayo Brave Jaguars in the ZimAfro T10 League in Zimbabwe where was dismissed with an absolute corker of a delivery.
As expected, Warner had come out to bat for the Jaguars, but what he did not expect was the kind of delivery he would be dismissed by from the Zimbabwean bowler, Tinashe Muchawaya.
The right-arm pacer was handed the new ball and coming around the wicket, he shattered the stumps with an absolute ripper. The delivery managed to slightly dip on Warner which left him bamboozled as the ball went on to uproot the stumps.
Warner’s time in the league has not been ideal as he has struggled in the tournament having scored just two runs in the previous game and now being dismissed for just one run.
Despite his early dismissal, the Jaguars managed to post a total of 110 on the board at the end of the first innings. This was possible thanks to the cameos from the skipper Anamul Haque who scored 24 in 16 balls, Kobe Herft with a 15-ball 21 and Nick Hobson who scored 20 runs in just 11 balls.

The Jaguars have had a rocky start to the tournament having won one and lost two games respectively in the tournament. They will hope that their bowling unit can come in and help defend the score at an asking rate of over 10 runs per over.
But in this tournament which comprises only 10 overs per side, power-hitting can be seen at a new level with sides chasing down totals in excess of 100 runs with relative ease.
The Jaguars will have two more matches which will be up against the Joburg Bangla Tigers and the Cape Town Samp Army respectively.
