Bizarre! Cricket team loses match due to broken print - here's how

A cricket match in Northern Ireland ended unusually due to a malfunctioning printer at the home team's venue. Ballyspallen, playing against Eglinton in the North West Cricket Union Premier League, faced a rain interruption during their innings. With the game needing to resume using the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method to adjust targets due to lost overs, officials discovered that Ballyspallen's printer was not functioning properly. As per the NWCU regulations, the host team must ensure all necessary equipment, including a working printer, is available before the match begins. Since they failed to do so, the match was called off, and Eglinton was awarded the win despite not bowling any additional balls. This outcome placed Ballyspallen at the bottom of the league table.
