Sunday’s edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) was filled with excitement and anticipation with a high-octane fixture between the Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder to conclude an eventful weekend of BBL. Debutant Rashid Khan produced a Man of the Match display and Colin Ingram’s hard-hitting proves decisive as the Strikers claim their fourth win of BBL 7.

Rashid continued his red-hot form for the Strikers at Spotless Stadium and performed equally well with both bat and ball. The Afghan leg-spinner has been a constant threat at the bowling crease this season and it was no different against the Thunder as he claimed the key wicket of Jos Buttler and also removed Arjun Nair, returning tidy figures of 2/21 from his four overs in a spell which included 10 dot balls.

His latest outstanding effort means he has completed a two-wicket haul in five consecutive matches in his maiden BBL stint. However, prior to that, the 19-year-old impressed with the willow as well. A score of 16 not out although doesn’t exactly jump off the page, but Rashid’s action-packed knock provided plenty of entertainment and two sixes in the final over of the Strikers’ innings.

Official telecast partner Ten Sport soon took to their Twitter account to post a snippet of Rashid’s quirky innings.

The youngster’s economy rate of 5.10 is the best in the competition so far. Rashid is closely followed by Hobart Hurricanes paceman Jofra Archer (six runs per over) as the next tightest bowler. With 10 scalps at 10.2 apiece from five matches, Rashid is the equal third highest wicket-taker, underlining his massive contribution.

The Strikers (4/1) will next meet the struggling Melbourne Stars at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday, while the Thunder (2/4) will be looking to keep their finals hopes alive against defending champions the Perth Scorchers at Spotless Stadium on Thursday.
