The Big Bash League (BBL) is known for producing the most thrilling and exciting moments in cricket. A similar in🎃stance happened in the second match played between Sydney Sixers (SYS) and Perth Scorchers (PRS) at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Wednesday.
Sixers’ wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Philippe kicked-off his BBL campaign with a bang. Chasing the low total of 131, Philippe hammered unbeaten 81 off 44 balls at a mind-blowing strike-rate of 184.09.
The eye-grabbing moment came when Philip♋pe finished the match by sending the ball on the roof of the stadium.
The 22-year old sm෴ashed the delivery bowled by Kane Richardson into deep mid-wicket. He timed the ball so perfectly that it landed on the roof of the SCG stadium.
It's on the roof!!

In response, Sixers defeated Scorchers and won their opening game of BBL |9✱ by eight wickets.
