Will Jacks Hits Five Consecutive Sixes, Still Ends-Up in Losing Side

During Thursday’s T20 Blast match between Middlesex and Surrey, Will Jacks was at the top of his game. Jacks, who was sidelined by injury for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, smashed Luke Hollman for five sixes in the eleventh over to help Surrey score 252 runs.

The right-hand explosive batter mercilessly destroyed Luke Hollman during the 11th over of the game. The star opener hit five back-to-back sixes. The last ball, which was a full toss, was missed by him. Had he hit six sixes in that over, he would have equalized the record of Yuvraj Singh.

Jacks started his innings slowly, scoring just 12 runs off his first 10 balls. However, he then exploded in the 11th over, hitting Hollman for five consecutive sixes. The over cost Middlesex 31 runs, and it was a major turning point in the match.

Jacks finished the innings with 96 runs off 45 balls with 8 fours and 7 sixes. He was well supported by Laurie Evans, who scored blistering 85 runs off 37 balls.

However, despite a mammoth total of 252 posted by Surrey batters, Middlesex successfully chased down the target with 4 balls to spare. On Middlesex’s behalf, opener Stephen Eskinazi top-scored 73.

Additionally, Jacks’ performance was a reminder of his potential, and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the upcoming World Cup. He is a destructive batsman who can change the course of a match in a matter of overs, and he will be a valuable asset to England’s team.

In addition to his batting, Jacks also took two wickets for Surrey. He is a versatile all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball, and he is a key player for Surrey’s T20 Blast campaign.

Jacks’ performance against Middlesex was a timely reminder of his talent. He is a player who can make a big impact in the T20 World Cup, and he will be one to watch in the coming months.
