Mohammad Nabi has beaten up the last-placed Melbourne Renegades to a thrilling six-wicket win over the Adelaide Strikers and nabbed their seven-game Big Bash loses series
Afghani Nabi posted a BBL best of 71 when he completed the strikers’ attack on Adelaide Oval on Friday night
With the tremendous support of teenage Jake Fraser-McGurk (29, not eliminated), he caught up with the 7-177 home team in one delivery
The players of the game, Nabi and Fraser-McGurk, attended Peter Siddle from Jan. against the 16 leaving five to win Wes Agar’s final victory
Fraser-McGurk only sealed his team’s second win of the season when he threw Agar’s fifth throw of the ball
The chase started badly when skipper Aaron Finch (14) got out angrily after being sentenced to agar lbw
Finch felt like he had caught the ball, but slow-motion reps indicated that his racket was making contact with his pad
He survived two consecutive LBW appeals from consecutive Rashid Khan wrongs, but when he was wrapped on the pads by the third Googly, he received his marching orders despite televised replays confirming the ball was spinning on the side of his leg
Nabi and Fraser-McGurk ignored the rising quota to combine 68 enterprising, unbeaten runs after the Strikers looked strong after their innings
Phil Salt, 59, and Alex Carey, 42, beat the visitors’ attack before the hosts were curtailed by a late Renegades fight
Salt was prudent early on when Matt Renshaw (30) caused the early aggression – although there were no more fireworks between him and Kane Richardson after the duo’s famous slanging match on Tuesday
Carey also started calmly before starting in the power surge at Richardson crunched over three huge sixes who conceded 25 goals
But from the moment he scored the next hit, the Strikers lost 6:41 in the last five overs, leg spinners Peter Hatzoglou (3:43) and Seamer Prestwidge (2:20) pulled the Renegades back into the game Game
