Pakistan’s Zaman Khan came into the 2025/26 season of the Big Bash League (BBL) for the Brisbane Heat as a replacement bowler and made a massive impact in their vital fixture against Hobart Hurricanes at the Bellerive Oval. He was given the job of defending just six runs in the last over.

The first delivery was a low full-toss on the middle and leg of Nathan Ellis, who pushed the delivery back to the bowler for a dot. The Hobart captain opened the face of the bat and glided the second delivery to the third man region for a single. The equation came down to five runs required in three deliveries as Zaman Khan made some feel adjustments.

The third delivery was full outside off as Nikhil Chaudhary got forward and thrashed it straight to the fielder at cover region. On the fourth delivery, the right-handed batter shuffled across and got low from his batting stance to swing his willow at the yorker, and still couldn’t get a run off the delivery.

The fifth delivery was again full outside of the slot as Nikhil got forward to Loft and lost his bottom to pick out the wide long-on fielder, Michael Neser. The pressure is on both the batter and the bowler with 4 runs required for a super over in one delivery.

The field was set for a wide line yorker as Zaman went for a full when wide outside of delivery to which Rishad Hussain reached for it to drive and picked out the sweeper cover for just one as the throw came from Jimmy Pierson with all the fielders started celebration, rushing up to the bowler, who did his Sajda.

“They probably were in the box seat. Yeah, what was it? Was it 7 off 6? So that's an amazing over. And I'm sort of lost for words. Even Xavier's over before was incredible, taking a few wickets. Such a good game of cricket.” The player of the match, Matthew Kuhneann, expressed in the post-match presentation.

Brief Scores: Brisbane Heat 160/8 (Nathan McSweeney 49, Matt Renshaw 37, Riley Meredith 3/40) beat Hobart Hurricanes 157/8 (Ben McDermott 59, Xavier Bartlett 3/44) by 3 runs.
