WATCH: Michael Bracewell appeals for DRS after getting clean bowled in MLC clash
He realized his mistake seconds later and with an awkward laugh, went back to the pavilion while the moment instantly went viral on the internet.
In the match, the Unicorns batter first with Matthew Short scoring 91 and Jake Fraser-McGurk making 64 as they helped their team post a formidable 246/4. Kieron Pollard was the pick of the bowlers and he picked 2 wickets for 31 runs. This was the Unicorns' fourth 200-plus total in five outings this season.
Ever seen a batter (accidentally) try to review after getting bowled?

Short scored his 91 in 43 deliveries with 14 boundaries while Fraser-McGurk smashed 7 sixes to get his 64 off just 26 deliveries. Hassan Khan would then slam a swift 31 off 9 leading to the SFU posting a massive total.
Chasing, New York's Quinton de Kock scored 70 and Monank Patel slammed 60 but they could only reach 199/6 with the unicorns wining by 47 runs. de Kock and Patel blazed their way to a 119-run stand in just 9.3 overs before the latter was dismissed
Incidentally, this wasn't the first time when a batter had asked for a review after he was cleaned up. England spinner Shoaib Bashir had done exactly that last year when he had asked for DRS after getting cleaned up by India's Ravindra Jadeja. Joe Root, who was at the non striker's end, was in splits and informed his partner that he was out.
Ravichandran Ashwin was another player who mistakenly asked for a review after being cleaned up by New Zealand's Ajaz Patel in 2021.
With Patel's delivery clipping the top of off stump, Ashwin did not know about it and thought he was given out caught behind. He soon realized what had transpired and walked back to the hut.

Glenn Phillips ruled out of Zimbabwe T20I tri-series due to injury
New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips suffered a right groin injury during the final of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 and has been ruled out of the ongoing T20I tri-series in Zimbabwe, along with South Africa and the hosts. The Kiwi player was monitored upon his arrival in Zimbabwe and was advised to undergo a number of weeks of rehabilitation, as per the ICC official website. Blackcaps right-hand batter Tim Robinson, who was already among the players who had joined the Washington Freedom squad as a cover for the MLC final, will continue to stay on with the side for the remainder of the T20I tri-series. The likes of Michael Bracewell, Phillips, Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra were featuring in the MLC Final, and hence a number of replacements had been brought in. Phillips was also a part of the Test squad, and his replacement in the squad would be named in due course. Black Caps head coach Rob Walters felt for Phillips. "It's obviously disappointing to lose someone of Glenn's calibre. Much like Finn (Allen), we really feel for Glenn and that he misses out on this series. We know he was eager to get out on the field for the Black Caps, and unfortunately, he won't be able to do that for this series. We know he'll work hard to get himself back onto the park, and I look forward to when that happens," Rob Key said as quoted by ICC. Phillips will return to New Zealand along with Jimmy Neesham and Mitch Hay, both of whom were in Zimbabwe as cover for players who featured in the MLC Final. New Zealand featured in their opening fixture of the tournament against South Africa, and won by 21 runs courtesy of Tim Robinson's 75* and Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry's three-wicket hauls.
