WATCH: Rashid Khan dismisses Mohammad Nabi as Peter Siddle grabs incredible catch in BBL 2019-20

Rashid Khan dismisses Mohammad Nabi: The Afghani spinner dismissed his senior all-rounder in the latter’s first match of the tournament.

During the 34th match of the ongoing ninth season of the Big Bash League between Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades in Adelaide, Adelaide Strikers spinner Rashid Khan dismissed his Afghani teammate and Melbourne Renegades all-rounder Mohammad Nabi.

It all happened on the fourth delivery of the 13th over when Nabi’s attempt to play a big shot against Rashid on the leg side saw him skying the ball in the air towards point.

Siddle, who was fielding at short third-man, ran to his right to grab an incredible diving catch to dismiss the dangerous all-rounder. Coming in to bat at No. 5 in the 10th over, Nabi ended up scoring 6 (11) as his countryman Rashid registered his 50th BBL wicket.

Chasing a 174-run target, Renegades were bundled out for 110 in 17.4 overs. Barring Beau Webster (49), no other Melbourne batsmen showed signs of persisting against the hosts’ attack.

With bowling figures of 3-0-14-3, Siddle was the pick of the bowlers for Adelaide. Apart from him, Rashid and captain Travis Head grabbed two wicket apiece.

After Head won the toss and chose to bat, Strikers posted 173/6 in 20 overs on the back of an 80-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Jonathan Wells (58) and Matthew Short (41).
