Birmingham Phoenix registered their first win of The Hundred 2025, but it was Oval Invincibles' Rashid Khan who grabbed the attention through his outrageous helicopter shot-like stroke to send a yorker deep into the stand.

The unorthodox shot from the Afghanistan international left the crowd and internet in amazement. Though the shot might look like MS Dhoni's helicopter shot, it was not exactly a similar one. Khan, who is a right-handed batsman, positioned himself right in front of the off stump. The ball landed right in front of his legs. The batter was in the exact line of the ball, swinging the blade with raw power to hoist the ball over the mid-wicket cordon to produce the huge over-boundary.

Apart from this shot, Rashid Khan would like to forget the night, as he conceded a staggering 59 runs without taking a wicket after 20 deliveries. It came as Rashid Khan's most underwhelming spell of his entire T20 career, which cost Oval Invincibles a defeat. The thrilling game between these two teams was influenced by the flamboyant innings of Liam Livingston. The England international scored an unbeaten 69 off 27 to edge past the target of 181 despite a late wobble. Batting first, Oval Invincibles scored 180 with the help of Ferreira's 63-run innings.

A night to forget for Rashid Khan 

Oval had a good chance to outplay their opponent if they were able to reduce their strike rate. Against Rashid Khan, Livingston showed his muscle strength and shifted the momentum of the game. In his last five deliveries against the batter, Khan conceded 4, 6, 6, 6, and 4 in a brutal sequence.

Despite losing back-to-back wickets during the closing moments of the second innings, the assault from Livingston confirmed the first win of the season for Birmingham Phoenix.
