BBL 2022-23: Shadab Khan, a leg-spinning all-rounder from Pakistan, caught a jaw-dropping ball on December 19 while playing in the Big Bash League, drawing attention to his outstanding fielding once more. The 24-year-old Hobart Hurricanes player made an incredible catch off his own bowling to dismiss Aaron Hardie and get his team back in the game.
The incident occurred when Perth Scorchers needed 17 runs off of ten deliveries in the penultimate over of the game. When Shadab was well positioned at the crease, Hardie attempted to bowl the ball to him to his right, but Shadab swiftly reacted and dove to his right to take a remarkable catch.
Shadab only allowed 22 runs overall in his four overs for an economy of 5.50. The all-rounder had a strike rate of 129.41 when batting as he scored the same number of runs off 17 deliveries. However, thanks to the heroic efforts of Tim David (46* of 28 deliveries) and Matthew Wade’s half-century (51 off 29 deliveries), the Hurricanes were dismissed for 172 after 20 overs.
Scorchers were defeated by Hurricanes by eight runs
The Scorchers required a fast start in order to chase the total, and Faf du Plessis provided them just that. Josh Inglis, a wicketkeeper-batter, rose to the occasion and blasted 62 off 37 deliveries shortly after the 38-year-old had destroyed the Hurricanes bowlers by smashing 32 off 16 deliveries.
Nevertheless, once Inglis was dismissed in the game’s fifteenth over, Scorchers lost their momentum despite a strong start. In addition to dismissing Inglis, Patrick Dooley put on an outstanding performance to aid the Hurricanes in earning their first victory of the year. The 25-year-old left-arm wrist spinner was named Player of the Match after taking four wickets in his four overs.
It’s like a second home to us, and the boys put up a fantastic performance. The boys put in an amazing effort. Faf attempted to retreat while hitting a six-over cover. In the following games, I’ll strive to give my best effort since that’s how T20 cricket works, according to Dooley, who was quoted by Cricbuzz during the post-game presentation.
