During an exciting T20 World Cup match against England, Australia’s captain Mitchell Marsh hit a powerful six that broke a solar panel on the stadium roof. The game happened at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 8.
The stunning incident occurred in the ninth over of Australia’s innings when Adil Rashid delivered a short ball. Marsh, seizing the opportunity, executed a powerful pull shot that sent the ball soaring out of the ground. The ball hit the solar panel installed on the roof of the Greenidge-Haynes stand before bouncing out of the stadium.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) posted the amazing moment on Instagram, saying: “Mitchell Marsh has made his mark on the Kensington Oval.”
In the game, Mitchell Marsh made an important 35 runs from 25 balls, hitting two sixes and two fours. This innings showed a big improvement for the 32-year-old, who had been struggling with low scores in his recent T20 matches, getting only 14, 4, and 18 runs. He also didn’t perform well in the IPL 2024, scoring just 61 runs in four games before getting injured.
Marsh’s impressive shot and return to form provided a memorable highlight in an exciting World Cup match, showcasing his power and skill on the international stage.
