Hilarious! Cameraman tumbles over T20 Blast trophy moments before semifinal - WATCH

NEW DELHI: A hilarious moment stole the spotlight before the first semifinal of the Women's T20 Blast 2026 between Surrey Women and The Blaze Women at The Oval in London on Friday.

Just minutes before the match got underway, the tournament's now-famous cameraman accidentally tripped over the T20 Blast trophy while filming the players' entrance, leaving fans amused.

The cameraman was walking backwards while recording the players as they made their way onto the field. At one end, The Blaze Women were in a team huddle, while Surrey Women openers Bryony Smith and Danni Wyatt-Hodge were walking out to begin the innings.

Focused on capturing the perfect shot, the cameraman failed to notice that the T20 Blast trophy had been placed directly behind him. He accidentally bumped into it and tumbled over, creating a funny moment that was quickly shared across social media.

Fortunately, neither the cameraman nor the trophy appeared to suffer any damage, and play began without any delay.
