Marcus Stoinis had walked out to bat at number four. The all-rounder was a bit slow to get off the blocks but once he picked up pace, he looked unstoppable as he sent the ball flying to all corners of the park.
Stoinis was facing Haris Rauf in the ninth over of the innings and greeted the pacer with a four. The 35-year-old then smashed him for a maximum before once again hitting him for a boundary. Off the fourth delivery, Stoinis hit the ball so hard over the fence that it went out of the ground.
