Watch: Steve Smith's Shot Hits Moises Henriques At Non-Striker End In BBL

Steve Smith was at his very best on Saturday as his side Sydney Sixers crushed Sydney Thunder by 125 runs in a Big Bash League match in Sydney. Sixers' skipper Moises Henriques won the toss and opted to bat first and what followed was a sensational unbeaten century from Smith as his side posted a total of 187 for 2 after the match was reduced to 19-overs-a-side due to rain. One of the highlights of Smith's marathon knock was the player accidentally hitting captain Henriques at the non-striker's end with a powerful shot.

It was the third ball of the 18th over of the Sixers' innings when Daniel Sams bowled a slower ball to Smith, who was then batting on 112 off 59 balls. Smith tried to go hard on the short ball but lack of timing saw him hitting the ball directly to Henriques at the non-striker's end. The ball hit Henriques around the box.

Luckily, the Sixers skipper escaped the scene unhurt and gave a thumbs up soon after he received the body blow.

Watch the video here:

Talking about the match, Smith scored 125 not out off 66 balls while Henriques scored 45 not out off 36 to help the Sydney Sixers post a big total on the board. Smith's knock was laced with five fours and nine sixes.

In reply, Sydney Thunder were bundled out for 62 runs as Steve O'Keefe picked four wickets and Sean Abbott took three. Ben Dwarshuis had two wickets in his kitty and Todd Murphy took the remaining one wicket.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...
