Watch: Charli Knott Produces Magical Delivery to Leave Batter Shocked in Women's Big Bash League
Cricket fans will be reminded of a certain Shane Warne after watching Charli Knott extract stunning turn to clean up Sophia Dunkely.

Charli Knott produced a peach of a delivery during a Women’s Big Bash League contest between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars to bamboozle Sophia Dunkley who could only watch it crash onto the stumps.

Knott pitched the delivery well outside off stump and Melbourne Stars opener Dunkley, who wanted to have a poke at it was stunned by the sharp turn as the ball sneaked past her.

A shocked Knott could only stare at her batting partner trying to make sense of what had befallen her.

The delivery would surely remind cricket fans of the magic the late spin wizard Shane Warne consistently produced during his playing career.

Warne’s extracting prodigious turn to clean up Mike Gatting during an Ashes Test in 1993 is widely regarded as the ball of the century.

As per the official data, Knott, who opened the bowling for her team in defense of 150, started with a delivery that turned 1.7 degrees which kept increasing and the peaked at 6.5 degrees that bamboozled Dunkley to have her bowled for 1.

Knott would later dismiss Nicole Faltum on 6 to finish with figures of 2/13 from three overs as Melbourne Stars finished at 137/7 in 20 overs. Brisbane Heat thus registered a 13-run win to continue their dominant start to the ongoing season of WBBL.

The Jess Jonassen-led side has won all their four matches so far to collect eight points and occupy the top spot on the points table. They will next face Adelaide Strikers on Sunday.

For Melbourne Stars though, the latest setback was their third defeat in matches and they find themselves on the sixth spot in the eight-team points table. They will be up against Perth Scorchers next on Sunday.
