Watch: Shadab Khan was the star performer in Sussex’s win over Glamorgan in a T20 Blast clash, first making 87* with the bat and then effecting a brilliant run out after stopping the ball with his feet on his follow-through besides also picking up a wicket.

Walking in to bat at 44-4, Pakistan all-rounder Shadab played the rescue act to perfection, scoring a fine 53-ball 87* with five fours and as many sixes. His innings helped take Sussex to 182-6 as they looked for a vital win.

Shadab’s contributions spilt over to the second innings as well, where he sent down his four overs for 1-26. He was also responsible for sending back wicketkeeper Chris Cooke with a brilliant run-out, displaying his game awareness.

On the first ball of the 15th over, the striker Cam Fletcher played a Shadab delivery powerfully back to the bowler. The ball seemed to be headed towards the boundary but Shadab put out his right foot swiftly on his follow-through before picking up the ball and running over to the non-striker’s stumps. Cooke, at the other end, had gone down the pitch and his attempt at reaching back safely was unsuccessful as Shadab broke the stumps with his hands by then.

Sussex won the game by 20 runs.
