[Watch] Will Jacks smashes back-to-back sixes out of ground in SA20
England's Will Jacks smashed a hat-trick of sixes, including two of them out of the ground, during the SA20 game between Pretoria Capitals and MI Cape Town at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Friday, February 1.
Chasing 250, Jacks provided a stunning start, smashing 26 off just nine deliveries, including three maximums and two boundaries. The three successive sixes happened during the opening over of the Capitals' chase.
Jacks hit George Linde for a boundary before hitting a hat-trick of sixes. The right-handed batter bent his knee and lofted a tossed-up delivery straight down the ground. He then went berserk, blasting two consecutive sixes out of the ground, towards the deep square leg region with a slog sweep.
The last two deliveries went a distance of 108 meter and landed on the roof before sliding out of the ground.
