Glenn Maxwell continued his dream run with the bat in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) as he carved an astounding innings against Melbourne Renegades to guide Melbourn⛦ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe Stars to their seventh consecutive win in the season.
The first part of his innings was awaited game as witnessed the required run rate to soar over 12 before he unleashed an array of seven jaw-dropping sixes down the leg side. Maxwell scored 49 runs off his final 16 deliveries en route to his unbeaten knock of 83 off 45 balls to lead his team to a victory and subsequently extend the Renegades’ losing streak.
Maxwell came in to bat when his side was struggling at 54/3 in 7 ove⛎rs and struck singles of each off his first six deliveries. He only started the fireworks when the Stars required 6🎀0 runs off the final five overs. While being ably supported by Nick Larkin (33 off 28), Maxwell took charge and finished the game with a six off Dan Christian.
