Mark Steketee & Xavier Bartlett's tag-team turns a certain six into a spectacular catch

Mark Steketee and Xavier Bartlett's outstanding tag-team effort at boundary helped in getting rid of an in-form Andre Fletcher during Big Bash League (BBL) clash between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars at Metricon Stium on Thursday. In fact, Thursday's contest was all about some live-wire performances on field and this was one of m as well.

'Complete double-play'

This happened in fifth over of Stars run chase that was bowled by Afghan mystery spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman. opening duo of Andre Fletcher and, Marcus Stoinis h alrey got ir team off to a flying start in rain-shortened match, and just when y threatened to take game away from hosts, an unbelievable piece of teamwork got rid of Fletcher just before end of Powerplay.

On fourth ball of that over, Mujeeb h bowled a flat delivery outside off stump as Fletcher slogged with aim of hitting ball all way into stands. In fact, he did time ball with brute strength as it was travelled way over bowler's he and it appeared as if ball would end up in crowd area. 

However, Mark Steketee, who was stationed at long-off shows some great reflexes to stop ball but when he realised that he might t succeed in doing so, threw it back to Xavier Bartlett who was standing a few miles away from him and he ended up completing catch without making any mistake. It was indeed a much-needed breakthrough for Heat as Andre Fletcher walked back for a 13-ball 15 at a strike rate of over 115.

Meanwhile, Stoinis tried to keep steep asking rate in check but in end, perished for a quickfire 34 when he looked to take Lewis Gregory to cleaners only to get an outside edge as Jimmy Peirson me mistake behind stumps. 

Even though middle-order batsman Nick Larkin did chip in with a short cameo of a 16-ball 35, it was t eugh as Stars were restricted to 110/5 from ir allotted quota of 10 overs as Brisbane won this contest by 17 runs (DLS Method).
