After this accident, batsman Josh Inglis exemplified the spirit of the game and ran towards the boundary. The rest of the cricketers and medical staff of the Victoria team also arrived there. Mackenzie Harvey then appeared rubbing elbows and back towards the dressing room. However, he later batting and scored 6 runs.

The ground staff accidentally did so because the edges of the boundary were not covered with foam. In most international matches and Big Bash League matches, the boundary line is covered with foam or soft material to avoid such accidents. It is expected that after the accident, more attention will be given to the safety of the players.
