DHAKA, Dec 29, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain continues 
his rich vein of form in Big Bash League, guiding his side Hobart Hurricanes 
to a four-wicket win over Melbourne Renegades today at their home venue in 
Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

In this match, Rishad picked up two wickets for 34 runs in four overs but as 
usual gave the side an impetus in the middle overs, stifling Melbourne for 
runs. 

Skipper Nathan Ellis also dazzled, ending with 3-30 as Melbourne managed to 
put up 162-9. Hobart, however, raced to the victory in 19 overs, reaching 
163-6.

Matthew Wade led the charge in batting with 20 ball-43 not out.
Rishad so far took eight wickets in five matches, second highest behind Tom 
Curran and Haris Rauf who had nine wickets.

The victory, however, propelled Hobart to second spot with eight points from 
five matches.
