Watch: Ahead of New Year Mammoth 108m Six Lights Up Big Bash League
The Big Bash League is no stranger to humongous sixes and explosive batting. Over the years, BBL tournaments have seen batters come up with gigantic shots, and Melbourne Stars cricketer Beau Webster joined the list with a 108-metre six. Chasing a huge target of 206 runs, Webster slammed Adelaide Strikers' Brendan Doggett for a massive six in the 12th over of the match. It was a length delivery from Doggett, and Webster made no mistake in slamming it through the deep mid-wicket region for a maximum.
Earlier, Chris Lynn unbeaten 83 and Matt Short (56) were the top performers to guide the Adelaide Strikers to a huge total of 205, but a special inning from Marcus Stoinis clinched the win for the Stars in a thrilling encounter.

Earlier, the appeal of Tom Curran to have his four-match ban for umpire intimidation overturned was dismissed by the Big Bash League. Sydney Sixers import Tom Curran was suspended for the next four games after being found guilty of intimidating an umpire.
