Lhuan-dre Pretorius whacked a gigantic maximum on the roof against Glenn Maxwell on the third delivery of the fifth over during the second T20I between Australia and South Africa in Darwin. It came right from the middle of the willow and travelled a whopping 107 meters deep into the boundary.

Maxwell bowled a fuller-length delivery, to which Lhuan made some room and hit over the deep midwicket region with full force. The ball sailed all over the boundary and disappeared into the night sky, over the roof.
A ball earlier, Adam Zampa dropped him towards the fine-leg region, and Lhuan added insult to the injury with a magnificent six on the next delivery. Maxwell was visibly frustrated, especially since a catch was dropped earlier, for he knew the drop could have been costly for Australia.
It was also a poor ball, as the bowler had bowled right in the arc, under the batswing of Pretorius, known for hitting big shots. He is a quality spin player and gave a glimpse of his ruthless approach in his short stay at the crease by hitting a huge six.
While Lhuan-dre Pretorius hit a maximum off the following delivery after a catch drop, he couldn’t last too long at the crease and was soon dismissed. In Maxwell’s next over, Lhuan again attempted a big shot but couldn’t get any connection while coming down the track.
ALSO READ:
The ball took an inside edge and went towards the wicketkeeper, Alex Carey, who was vigilant enough to gather it quickly. He immediately removed the bails, and Pretorius had to depart in an unfortunate manner after looking so good with the willow.
He was unaware of where the ball was and kept searching for it instead of going back into his crease, which could have saved his wicket. The wicket has been easy-paced and nice for batting, and Lhuan had the opportunity to make a substantial score to seal his No.3 spot, but he will need to wait further.
He scored run-a-ball 10 runs, including a massive six, before returning to the pavilion. Maxwell, earlier unhappy with a catch going down off his bowling, was animated and shouted a few words as Lhuan returned due to a brainfade dismissal, where he completely lost the ball for a few seconds.
