Delhi Capitals star Donovan Ferreira, playing for Texas Super Kings, smashed Punjab Kings all-rounder Mitchell Owen, who is playing for Washington Freedom, for four sixes in an over in Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025, including one that went out of the stadium at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida.
With the match reduced to just five overs due to rain, Texas Super Kings batted first and lost their first wicket for just 2 runs. Daryl Mitchell came in to bat at number 3 but struggled with timing and walked off retired out. Donovan Ferreira replaced him when the team was 34 in three overs.
Ferreria then joined Shubham Ranjane and the pair smashed 43 runs in the last two overs. The final over was the biggest, where Ferreria hit 28 runs off Mitchell Owen, including four sixes — three in the first three balls and one on the last ball. The first six went out of the stadium over deep midwicket and measured 106 metres. Ferreria remained unbeaten on 37 runs from just nine balls, including five sixes, at a strike rate of 411.11, helping Texas Super Kings reach 87 for 2 in five overs. Ranjane also made an impact with 39 not out off 14 balls.
