Marcus Stoinis Showed no mercy to Sidney Sixers

Well a day before yesterday he just faced 3 deliveries and taken by Smith Patel in a game against Melbourne Renegades even though Glenn Maxwell played an outstanding innings and won the game by hitting huge 7 sixes. But the anger inside Marcus Stoinis about played a false short against a left arm spinner burst like a bomb today.

As Sidney Sixers won the toss and elected to field first on a flat wicket of Melbourne Cricket Ground MCG to challenge their bowling side and they were thinking about to restrict Melbourne Stars under 170 odd runs. As they have a good line of fast and spin bowling attack which include Jackson Bird, Tom Curran, Lloyd Pope, Steve O’keefe and Ben Dwarshuis.

But nothing works as they planned because Marcus Stoinis had some other plans, he smashed very hard to every bowler after a little bit slow start, he scored 147 runs on just 79 balls by hitting 13 fours and 8 sixes with a strike rate of 186.07. While Tom Curran conceded 58 runs and Ben Dwarshuis 61 runs in their quota of four overs. That shows a poor bowling performance by these two.

So, After the outstanding innings of Marcus Stoinis Melbourne Stars put a total of 219/1. While in second innings Sydney Sixers openers have not showed a good response in the first over Josh Philippe was taken by Daniel Worall and in the 4^th over a Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf strikes again Daniel Hughes and showed his presence once again in BBL. Then in the middle order few cameo innings by Captain Moises Henriques and Ben Dwarshuis was not enough to get their team over the line Henriques scored 41 on just 25 balls by hitting 2 sixes and 4 fours while Ben Dwarshuis contributed 42 runs on just 17 balls by hitting 3 sixes and 3 fours and the innings wind up after 20 overs Sydney Sixers made 175/7 and lose by 44 runs.

It was 11^th half century scored by Marcus Stoinis in BBL and Maiden century. He is showing some extra ordinary talent with consistency to prove himself for the upcoming ICC T20 WC. As he is a complete package all-rounder who can bowled 4 overs as well and a good athleticism in the field. Best of luck for him and a wonderful weekend treat for Melbourne Stars.
