Ben Duckett of the Stars made history in BBL14 by becoming the first player to hit six consecutive boundaries in a single over, stunning the crowd in Sydney. He dominated Sixer Akeal Hosein, showcasing his exceptional batting skills. Duckett’s remarkable performance helped the Stars reach 1/57 in their powerplay, the highest total of any team in the season so far.
Fox Cricket’s David Warner lauded Duckett’s aggressive batting style, comparing it to his teammate Glenn Maxwell’s approach. Warner described Duckett’s gameplay as “Mickey Mouse cricket,” emphasizing his confidence and ability to hit boundaries consistently. Duckett eventually scored 68 runs off 29 balls, including 10 fours and two sixes before getting dismissed.
The Stars, who were winless in the competition, needed a strong start, and Duckett’s explosive batting provided just that. Despite facing tough opponents like the Strikers, Heat, and Scorchers in their previous matches, the Stars showed resilience and determination.
The match between the Sixers and Stars at the SCG was highly anticipated, with both teams fielding strong lineups. The Stars had Usama Mir join their squad, while the Sixers included Jackson Bird and Hayden Kerr in their playing XI. The game promised to be an exciting contest between two competitive teams in the BBL14 season.
