Watch, MLC 2025 | Donovan Ferreira sends ball into orbit with giant 106-metre six off Mitchell Owen

‌Texas Super Kings beat Washington Freedom by 43 runs in a rain-shortened Major League Cricket 2025 match to leapfrog them to second in the points table on Thursday. TSK got to a monumental 87/2 in five overs after being put into bat with Donovan Ferreira smashing five sixes during his unbeaten nine-ball 37. He added 43 runs in three overs for the unbroken third wicket with Shubham Ranjane, who hit three sixes and four fours scoring 39 off just 14 balls. WSF found the target too tall to pursue as they ended at 44/4 in the stipulated five overs with left-arm pacer Nandre Burger picking up two wickets.

Ferreira’s entertaining cameo ended up as the game-changer in the five-over duel as TSK pulled off a masterstroke to retire out Daryl Mitchell and put the South African in. Ferreira was on nine off three balls when WSF all-rounder Mitchell Owen came in to bowl the final over.

Owen tried to outfox the Protean with a slower leg-cutter but ended up pitching it way short of the batter. Ferreira sat back and with all the time and power pulled the bowl over square leg fielder. But the hit was so good that it flew off the middle of the willow before making its way out of the park.

Ranjane, who was at the other end, was mighty impressed as he rushed to exchange fist bumps but it was Akeal Hosein who pulled the attention with his hilarious reaction. The West Indies spinner was in awe of the shot standing with his mouth wide open along with the other TSK players in the dugout as the commentator jokingly mentioned that a fly might go into his mouth.

Ferreira did not stop there as he went on to hit three more maximums in the over to push TSK to a commanding total.

Unbelievable shot!
