The Hundred 2025: Afghanistan's star spinner Rashid Khan was hit to all corners of the park by Liam Livingstone during the 10th match of the Hundred 2025 in Birmingham. While representing Oval Invincibles, Livingstone had smashed Rashid for two fours and three sixes during the last five balls as Livingstone went all guns blazing against the wrist spinner.

Due to this, Rashid conceded 59 runs after bowling 20 balls and had recorded the worst figures in the tournament's history. This was also his worst figures in his T20I career, and he also went past his record of 1/55 during the IPL 2018 match against the Punjab Kings.

He began the match by conceding eight runs during the first five balls as Will Smeed smashed him for a six on the last ball. Joe Clarke smashed another six during Rashid's next over and had conceded 17 runs after being hit for another four and a six.

Rashid did bounce back during his third over as he had leaked just eight runs, but then was hit for 26 runs during the last five balls, and he thus recorded his worst performance ever in the shortest format. Livingstone scored a brilliant knock of 69 runs off 27 balls, in which he had smacked seven fours and five sixes, and helped Birmingham Phoenix chase the target of 181 runs.

Will Smeed assisted him well by scoring a gritty knock of 51 runs off 29 balls, where he smacked five fours and four sixes. Saqib Mahmood was the pick among the Oval Invincibles bowlers as he took three wickets after bowling 13 balls.
