Stoinis Smashes Shami for Four Consecutive Sixes

Marcus Stoinis made a remarkable impact in the final over of Punjab Kings ' innings, taking the game away from Sunrisers Hyderabad with a stunning display of power hitting. Stoinis hammered Mohammad Shami for four consecutive sixes , turning the momentum in his team’s favour.


Shami had been brought back to bowl the last over for SRH, having delivered two decent balls initially. However, Stoinis started the onslaught in the third ball, and Shami’s attempts to regain control faltered. After missing two yorkers that were deposited for sixes, Shami opted to shorten his length, but it only played into Stoinis’ hands. Stoinis, anticipating the ball, launched another towering six. On the final ball, Shami once again missed his yorker, bowling a full toss on the leg side, and Stoinis sent the ball sailing into the stands for the fourth consecutive six.


Before Stoinis' explosive finish, Pat Cummins had bowled a tidy over, providing some respite, but it was clear that the storm was brewing. Stoinis' blistering cameo of 34 runs off just 11 balls, with an extraordinary strike rate of 309, gave Punjab Kings a formidable total of 245.
Earlier in the innings, Shreyas Iyer had played a pivotal role, contributing a brilliant 82 runs off 36 balls, striking at a rate of 227. Punjab's batsmen dominated the SRH bowling attack, with explosive batting that left the Sunrisers' bowlers reeling. Mohammad Shami, in particular, had a tough outing, conceding the most runs in his four overs without picking up a single wicket. SRH's bowling woes have continued, and with this defeat, they now find themselves having lost four of their first five games in the tournament.
