BBL 2020: Rashid Khan's brilliance in the field end's Colin Ingram's promising knock 

The Hobart Hurricanes had a flying start with the bat against Adelaide Strikers, courtesy of a stellar 63-run opening stand in the fifth match of the Australian league. Despite breaking the partnership, things were not going in the favour of the Strikers as Colin Ingram was threatening to take the game away from them. However, the entertaining knock came to an abrupt end after Rashid Khan showcased his catching prowess in his trademark nonchalant fashion.

Skipper Peter Siddle, in the 16th over, took the matters in his own hand to swing the momentum back in the favour of Strikers. With there being no margin for error in the shortest format, the bowler's short of length delivery was clobbered by Colin Ingram towards long-on. Rashid Khan, who was guarding the fence, used the reverse-cup technique to his advantage and latched on to a stunning catch inches away from the ropes.
