Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was on his best behaviour in the ongoing Big Bash League match between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars as he reached his 22nd half-century in BBL. The ruthless basher smashed a jaw-dropping maximum to reach his fifty in style.
Maxwell, who plays for Melbourne Stars, reached fifty in just 32 balls with five boundaries and three maximums. He remained unbeaten throughout the game and was the highest run-scorer for his team.
In the 18th over, Ben Dwarshuis bowled a short delivery down the leg side. Glenn Maxwell decided to take it on and got a top edge that flew well over deep fine leg for a cracking maximum. With this shot, the 'Big Show' left everyone at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in amazement.
