Melbourne Renegades' Jake Fraser-McGurk was denied a deserved century when Brisbane Heat’s Matt Renshaw took a stunning catch to dismiss him for 95. The dramatic moment occurred on Saturday, January 18, during the 38th match of the 2024-25 Big Bash League (BBL).

On the third ball of the 17th over, McGurk picked up a length delivery from Paul Walter and launched it over his head. However, Matt Renshaw sprinted to his right and pulled off a stunning catch at long-off, sending McGurk back for 95 off 46 balls. His knock included five boundaries and eight sixes.

Here’s a video of the dismissal:

Chasing 197, Jake Fraser-McGurk was the standout performer for the Renegades. Josh Brown also played a brilliant cameo, scoring 32 off 11 balls, including three fours and three sixes.
