Despite Rashid’s heroics with the ball, Strikers lost the match in Adelaide. Sixers chased down the target of 136 runs by 2 wickets.
Sydney Sixers are now placed at number 2 in the points table with 12 points while the Strikers are at three with 7 points under their belt.
It was an eventful day in the BBL as Pakistan’s Haris Rauf scalped the day’s second hattrick. The 26-year-old achieved the feat while playing for Melbourne Stars against Sydney Thunder.
An iconic BBL moment.
