With 20 runs needed from the last three overs of their innings, Hobart Hurricanes batter Nikhil Chaudhary smashed a ball towards the square leg boundary off the bowling of Michael Neser.
The ball almost cleared the fence, but just then, Matt Renshaw, the Australian batting all-rounder, jumped up and bounced several meters on the ground to pull the ball from outside the fence.
What Matt Renshaw saved was no ordinary save, as he reached out a hand and pushed him away as he landed outside the boundary rope. Although he failed to make a catch, he saved 5 runs for his team which was the deciding factor in the match.

Hobart Hurricanes collapse despite half-centuries from Beau Webster and Ben McDermott
The Hobart Hurricanes v Brisbane Heat match saw some outstanding performances and the players put in their efforts to go for the chase. Although none of the Heat’s hitters actually got going, 49s and 37s from McSweeney and Matt Renshaw helped them post a goal of 161 points.
For the Hobart Hurricanes, the first games fell very quickly, in no time. However, Beau Webster and Ben McDermott each scored a half-century, allowing them to help the Hobart Hurricanes to a massive start.
However, the Hurricanes could not end the match on a high note, as they eventually lost the match by just 3 runs, leading to their third defeat in BBL history.
Zaman Khan won the match for the Brisbane Heat in a splendid effort
Pacer Zaman Khan has been a convincing performer for the Brisbane Heat. The Heat are without some of their players due to injuries or international duty; however, they put together a convincing performance which took them to their 5th win of the BBL season.
Zaman Khan received the ball from his skipper as he was asked to defend just 6 runs from the final over of the match, also in front of big-hitter Nikhil Chaudhary. However, Chaudhary missed two consecutive balls and then was dismissed on the third, which left Rishad Hossain on strike to chase down 5 runs.
He defended the score by 3 runs, as Zaman Khan finished his spell of 4 overs for just 29 runs and also picked a wicket.
