The Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 witnessed one of its most electrifying moments during match number 32 at Marvel Stadium. The Melbourne derby between the Melbourne Stars and the Melbourne Renegades turned into a showcase of Glenn Maxwell's brilliance. After Renegades won the toss and elected to bowl, Maxwell, fondly known as "The Big Show," delivered an unforgettable performance, headlined by a jaw-dropping 122-meter six.

This remarkable six came in the 17th over of the first innings. Facing Renegades pacer Kyle Richardson, Maxwell unleashed a stroke that will be remembered for a long time. Richardson bowled a full-length delivery that landed perfectly in Maxwell’s slot. Using his incredible wrist strength and timing, Maxwell flicked the ball with sheer power, sending it soaring between long-on and mid-wicket. The ball climbed into the sky and landed deep into the stands, measuring a staggering 122 meters. This monstrous hit left the crowd and commentators in awe, cementing itself as one of the best moments of the season.

GLENN MAXWELL SMASHED A 122M SIX IN THE BBL. 🤯

- One of the craziest hits in history! 📢pic.twitter.com/Gt4MYPp0iz

— Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) January 12, 2025

Maxwell’s innings was nothing short of extraordinary. He scored 90 runs off just 52 balls, single-handedly propelling the Stars to a competitive total of 165. His knock included an impressive 10 sixes and 4 fours. At one point, the Stars were struggling at 75 for 7, but Maxwell’s innings turned the tide. He found an unlikely partner in Usama Mir, who contributed zero runs from five balls but stood firm at the crease during their crucial 81-run partnership. This partnership helped the Stars recover from the brink of collapse.

Interestingly, Maxwell’s incredible six came against Kyle Richardson, the same bowler who later dismissed him. Maxwell tried to continue his explosive innings but fell to Richardson, bringing an end to his remarkable knock.

Apart from Maxwell, no other batter managed to cross the 30-run mark. The second-highest scorer for the Stars was Ben Duckett, who contributed 21 runs off 14 balls. Despite the lack of support, Maxwell’s innings stood out as a masterpiece of power. While every six in his innings was special, the 122-meter hit will remain the highlight of the season.

Glenn Maxwell did great with his amazing batting skills in the Big Bash League (BBL), and everyone was reminded of that key game he played against Afghanistan in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Maxwell is famous for his strong hits, and now he clearly showed what he can do.

At Marvel Stadium, Maxwell did very well for the Melbourne Stars by scoring 90 runs off 52 balls, helping his team propel to a solid score of 165. It reminded everyone of how he played during the World Cup, extremely aggressive, always striking the ball with force and making certain the runs kept coming. His performance was key in getting the Stars to that very challenging total.

World Cup Masterclass: Unbeaten 201 against Afghanistan

When Maxwell performed it at the BBL, it reminded everyone of that insane game on November 7, 2023, against Afghanistan during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. At that time, he scored an amazing 201 not out, carrying Australia to a win all by himself. Mister Maxwell set the record for scoring the most runs by one person in a World Cup chase, and he was the first ever to hit a double century in an ODI run chase.

Maxwell really demonstrated his skills in both innings, defeating the bowlers and trying harder when things became tough. He conjoined 21 fours and 10 sixes to obtain a massive 201 in the World Cup, even though he had muscle pain and wasn't feeling great.

Maxwell's reputation as a revolutionary batsman grew even stronger after his recent innings in the BBL. He scored an aggressive 90 off 52 balls, replete with many boundaries, showing everyone he's consistently proficient at striking the ball with force. Before this, he was already turning heads with his World Cup double century, which people all over, including cricket legends, called one of the best ODI innings ever.These performances prove Maxwell is one of the top power hitters in cricket today, changing skills in his team's favor with his explosive batting.Finishing it off, not only does Glenn Maxwell's new BBL innings show characteristics similar to his World Cup grandeur, but it also highlights how he's always able to perform very well in cricket. This makes the fans unfathomably excited and greatly aids his team's win.

The Melbourne Stars began the season with a loss. The team struggled with the bat in the previous edition, and their opening game did not improve matters. The Sydney Sixers have a formidable batting lineup and a stellar record when facing the Melbourne Stars. They are the defending champions, so they will have an advantage early on. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this match.

The Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 is in full swing during the Australian summer. In a thrilling match between Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades, New Zealand cricketer Tim Seifert, playing for the Renegades, grabbed attention with a monstrous six. This incredible shot became one of the season’s most memorable moments.

The moment came in the 8th over when Seifert faced Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis from the Stars. On the third ball of the over, Stoinis delivered a short good-length ball. Seifert read it early and unleashed a powerful pull shot between long-on and mid-wicket. The ball soared 102 meters and landed deep in the stands. The sheer distance left everyone in awe, with fans and commentators praising Seifert’s timing and strength. In other countries, such a hit might have cleared the stadium entirely. Stoinis’s reaction summed up the disbelief shared by all.

Despite this brilliant six, Seifert couldn’t convert his start into a big innings. He was dismissed just four balls later, scoring 17 runs. Before his dismissal, the Renegades' openers, Josh Brown and Jake Fraser-McGurk, also fell cheaply, putting their team under pressure.

However, the middle-order batsmen stepped up for the Renegades. English young star Jacob Bethell scored 49, while Jonathan Wells added a steady 45. Their partnership helped the Renegades reach a competitive total of 168 runs, which seemed like a good target on this ground.

But the Melbourne Stars had other plans. Their chase was anchored by Ben Duckett, who played a match-winning knock of 67 runs. With support from other batters, the Stars chased down the target comfortably with five wickets in hand, securing an important victory.

While the Stars celebrated their win, Seifert’s gigantic six remained the highlight of the match. Fans and commentators couldn’t stop talking about the power and skill behind his shot. It was a moment that stole the spotlight, even in defeat, and added excitement to an already thrilling season of BBL.

With the Sydney Sixers losing their last game and the Melbourne Stars winning their first game of the season, the BBL table is suddenly much more congested than anyone expected! Ahead of this match, Match 23, the Sixers lead the table with eight points, with the Perth Scorchers, Sydney Thunder, and Hobart Hurricanes trailing by only two points. The two Melbourne teams are currently in the bottom half of the table, but the Renegades are just two points behind second-placed Perth Scorchers.
