In the 30th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 14 between Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers, held at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney Sixers’ star batter Steve Smith delivered one of the most memorable moments of the match with an extraordinary shot that left fans in awe.

Steve Smith’s masterclass 

The action took place during the 15th over of the Sydney Sixers’ innings when Andrew Tye of Perth Scorchers was bowling. Tye delivered an overpitched ball just outside off stump, and Smith, with impeccable timing and finesse, opened his bat-face at the last moment, expertly guiding the ball over deep backward point for a magnificent 74-meter six. It was a truly remarkable shot—one that appeared deceptively easy but was, in fact, a highly difficult stroke to execute. The crowd erupted as Smith showed off his sheer class and control, producing a shot that perfectly encapsulated his batting brilliance.
