After Adelaide Strikers leg-spinner Rashid Khan dismantled the Sydney Sixers middle-order ea🌱rlier on Wednesday, Haris Rauf did the same for Melbourne Stars in their clash against Sydney Thund🦩er.
With theᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Thunder near the end of their innings and looking to score few quick ru⭕ns, Rauf dismissed Matt Gilkes, Callum Ferguson and Daniel Sams in consecutive deliveries.
Rauf finished with figures of 3/23 off his four overs as Stars restricted Thunder t🃏o♒ 145-5 in their stipulated 20 overs.
An iconic BBL moment.
