Australia and RCB allrounder Cameron Green is playing Sheffield Shield right now. The right-hander looked in sparkling form ahead of the IPL which bodes well for his side Royal Challengers Bangalore. The match is being played between Tasmania and Western Australia at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
Chasing a stiff target of 450 runs, Western Australia were 86-2 when Green came in to bat. He formed a solid partnership with opener Cameron Bancroft to take Western Australia’s innings back on track. When Green was batting on 91, he pulled a huge six towards mid-wicket off the bowling of fast bowler Bradley Hope.

The ball landed straight into neighbourhood house and was lost. The tall allrounder smashed his next ball through the covers and ran three runs to complete his century from 138 balls. His batting partner Cameron Bancroft also went on to score a ton. Green was dismissed for just 6 runs in the first innings but made amends in the second outing.
