The former South African ODI captain Johan Botha on Saturday broke his bat in two halves on the very first ball he faced during a Big Bash League (BBL) match at Carrara Oval, Queensland.

Here's what happened, watch:

The match was reduced to a 19-over-a-side affair. Batting first Hurricanes posted 159/6.

Then, they bowled out Heat for 144 with two balls to spare to set up a 15-run won.
