Liam Livingstone Smacks Rashid Khan for later borders
Having in 181 on a good surface, Birmingham Phoenix seemed to have problems, although he needed 61 of the last 25 balls. The nerves were making a look at Phoenix field and the invincible ovalables appeared favorites. But then the time came to change everything: Livingstone, Phoenix’s captain, faced Rashid Khan’s final set.
Rashid, the Afghanistan T20 Superstar and widely considered one of the best rows in the world, had already supported a punishment night. His figures read 33 runs from the first 15 deliveries, but the Real Butchers reserved for Livingstone’s assault.
The sequence? Four, six, six, six, four – pure butcher’s shop. Livingstone danced on the court, made balls on the ropes and brutalized anything remotely. In these five balls, he not only broke the spirit of Rashid, but also destroyed the competition records: he was the most expensive that Rashid had turned to his career and the worst figures ever recorded in the history of the hundred.
Rashid finished with 0 doctors for 59 rolls of his full quota: the worst bowling analysis of the tournament and statistically the most expensive of his entire career T20.

A complete victory for Birmingham Phoenix
Previously, Oval Invincible published a competitive 180/8, driven by Donovan Ferreira’s explosive 63 of 29 balls and a cameo from the same Rashid, which hit two six of the nine balls. Despite the fall of the constant doctors, the invincibles remained accelerating, capitalizing especially on the Boy of Death.
Phoenix’s persecution constantly began until Livingstone entered no. 4. Build its entrances with discipline, it reached half a century in 22 balls, mixing energy and placement. Its end Blitz not only changed the impulse, but also made a bewildering goal suddenly realizable.
After Rashid Over, Phoenix needed only a good handful to win. There was a late turn, as Saqib Mahmood claimed two doctors with successive delivery, but Benny Howell finished the matters clinically: a punch through the roof sealed the victory with two balls remaining.
