Matt Renshaw saves a six with an unbelievable effort in the Hobart Hurricanes vs Brisbane Heat match
With 20 runs needed off the last three overs in their innings, the Hobart Hurricanes batter Nikhil Chaudhary smashed a ball towards the square leg boundary off Michael Neser’s bowling.
The ball almost cleared the fence, but just at that moment, Matt Renshaw, the Australian batting all-rounder leaped and bounced several feet over the ground to pull the ball in from outside the fence.
What Matt Renshaw saved was no ordinary save, as he stretched out his one hand and knocked it back as he landed outside the boundary rope. Though he could not manage it as a catch, he saved 5 runs for his team, which went on to be the decisive factor in the game.

Hobart Hurricanes collapse despite half-centuries from Beau Webster and Ben McDermott
The Hobart Hurricanes vs Brisbane Heat match saw some exceptional performances, and players put forward their dire efforts to ease into the chase. While none of the Heat batters actually got going, McSweeney and Matt Renshaw’s 49 and 37 helped them to post a 161-run target.
For the Hobart Hurricanes, the openers fell very quickly in no time. However, Beau Webster and Ben McDermott each scored a half-century, as a result of which they helped the Hobart Hurricanes with a massive start.
However, the Hurricanes could not finish the game on a strong note, as they finally lost the game by just 3 runs, which led to their third defeat in the history of the BBL.
Zaman Khan won the match for the Brisbane Heat in a splendid effort
Pacer Zaman Khan has been a convincing performer for the Brisbane Heat. The Heat do not have some of their players due to injuries or due to international duty; however, they managed a convincing performance that led them to their 5th win in the BBL season.
Zaman Khan was handed the ball by his skipper as he was asked to defend just 6 runs off the final over of the game, that too in front of the big-hitting Nikhil Chaudhary. However, Chaudhary missed out on two consecutive balls and then was dismissed on the third, which left Rishad Hossain on strike to chase 5 runs.
He defended the score by 3 runs, as Zaman Khan finished his spell of 4 overs for just 29 runs and picked a wicket as well.
