[Watch] Adil Rashid dismisses Glenn Maxwell to complete 200 wickets during the ENG vs AUS 2nd ODI 2024
England spinner Adil Rashid outsmarted Australian explosive batter Glenn Maxwell in the second ODI of the five-match series on Saturday, September 21, at Headingley in Leeds. The dismissal occurred on the second ball of the 28th over when Rashid delivered a full ball on off stump.
Maxwell attempted a slog sweep but mistimed it, resulting in an easy catch for Jacob Bethell in the deep mid-wicket region. With this wicket, Rashid reached 200 ODI wickets in just 131 innings, making him the third-fastest spinner to achieve this milestone, following Saqlain Mushtaq (101 innings) and Shane Warne (124 innings).
Here’s a video of the dismissal:
Maxwell didn’t have the best outing, scoring seven runs off five balls, including one six. His dismissal left Australia at 161/6 after 27.2 overs.
