Rashid’s three wickets in five balls swing match as Sunrisers Leeds collapse to 112-3

Adil Rashid ripped through the top of Sunrisers Leeds’ innings, claiming three wickets in five balls as the side tumbled from 111-0 to 112-3 in a men’s Hundred fixture. "The game has turned!"

The late burst from Rashid gave Southern Brave a dramatic foothold after Sunrisers Leeds had appeared to be cruising. What had begun as a dominant start for Leeds was abruptly altered by the leg-spinner’s short spell, which quickly narrowed the contest in the Hundred match.

Rashid removed three batters across five deliveries, a sequence that changed the scoreboard from 111-0 to 112-3. That rapid dismissal sequence halted Sunrisers Leeds’ momentum and injected new life into Southern Brave’s prospects in the game.

The wickets came in quick succession and forced a re-evaluation of the contest as Southern Brave seized the initiative. Rashid’s contribution was decisive in shifting the balance, making what had been a straightforward batting platform far more precarious for Leeds.

Sunrisers Leeds were left to regroup after losing three wickets at the cost of a single run, and the match situation moved sharply in Southern Brave’s favour. The dramatic mini-collapse underscored the impact a short, high-quality spell can have in the compressed format of the men’s Hundred.

Adil Rashid’s intervention brought his side right back into contention and altered the dynamics of the encounter. The collapse from 111-0 to 112-3 ensured the remainder of the match would be contested under renewed pressure for Sunrisers Leeds.
