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.
