9.14 pm Rashid holds the ball aloft as he is clapped off the field by his teammates. His 300th T20 match is a very memorable one. His previous best figures in any T20 match came when he took 5 for 3 against Ireland in a T20I a few years ago. But he's gone one better in the wickets column with this effort for his fourth career haul in T20s of five wickets or more.

A footnote in this story is the spineless collapse by the Heat. From a dominant position after eight overs, they don't even last beyond the 15th. Rashid has given all the doubters concerned about his form this season a healthy reminder of his world-class talent.

The man of the moment Rashid Khan is on the mic: "This format is all about enjoying yourself, giving 100% and keep smiling. That gives me extra energy inside. As long as my process remains the same and I keep enjoying myself, I focus on that. When I bowled my first three balls, this wicket is pretty hard to bat on so I just wanted to get it in the right areas. I was watching Mujeeb in the first innings and thought if I bowl stump to stump, I will be successful. That was the main target behind it. I think it's a big win for us as a team and gives us momentum and energy for the rest of the games. We need to keep enjoying. It doesn't matter the result, I think if the team enjoys themselves in the field then the result will take care of itself. Since the first year I've been with the Strikers, the love I've gotten from the fans and the team, they've given me so much love. As an overseas player, when you're comfortable in the team, that's what attracts me to the Strikers. I don't think I'll have anything in mind to leave the Strikers. I will play till I'm playing my T20 cricket. I enjoy myself with the Strikers and hope we win more trophies as a team."

That's it from the BBL coverage tonight. Come back for a doubleheader tomorrow. I'm Peter Della Penna, take care!

W
Rashid Khan to Guthrie, OUT

Rashid has taken the joint-best ever BBL figures by any bowler to close out a drubbing by the Strikers! Flighted full on fifth stump, goes for a slog sweep and a toe edge flutters just wide of the keeper's gloves and a spectacular catch by Short tumbling to his right at slip. He was unsighted by the keeper but pouched it in theatrical fashion.

Rashid Khan to Mujeeb, OUT

five-for by Rashid, and gets his revenge on his countryman after Mujeeb took his wicket in the first innings! Flighted full on middle and leg, slog sweeps this and skies it to deep midwicket. Simple catch taken two yards inside the rope at head height.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman c Short b Rashid Khan 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Rashid's best figures this BBL season. Saving his best for last.

Rashid Khan to Kuhnemann, OUT

slows up the pace a touch flighting it full on leg stump, Kuhnemann goes for a slog sweep and is thrown off by the lack of pace, the googly skids on into middle stump.

attempted yorker is a low full toss at ankle height on leg stump, backs away and smashes this past the non-striker down the ground and long-on now in place can't stop it.
