Steve Smith Launches 107m Six Over the SCG Roof in Sydney Smash in BBL 2025-26 [WATCH]

Blink and you miss! For all those who thought stepping into T20 cricket just after a five-match Test series would not be very easy, Steve Smith decided to prove how it is probably too easy for him. The Australian batter smashed a 107 metre long six in their fixture against the Sydney Thunder.

The incident occurred on the third ball of the fourth over of the second innings. Nathan McAndrew bowled a length ball which was pretty straight. However, Steve Smith went across and launched the ball straight over the deep mid-wicket boundary. The ball landed on the roof of the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

The Sixers bagged 22 runs off that over, taking the score past the 50-run mark in the powerplay itself. What made the shot special, was the way Smith managed to hit it clean with an almost baseball-like bat swing. The Sixers had a stiff target of 190 off 20 overs after David Warner’s century in the first innings.

Why Steve Smith Can Turn the Tables For Sydney Sixers

Well, for anyone who followed the Sydney Smash, Steve Smith’s innings was a very compelling answer to state how he could turn the tables for the Sixers. The 36-year-old posted a wonderful 41-ball century against their counterparts to take them towards the target.

Steve Smith smashed 32 runs off the 12th over of the second innings, with the first four deliveries going for sixes. He followed it up with a boundary on the fifth ball of the over, to leave the Sydney Thunder dazed. However, Smith showcased that he still has it in him in the shortest format of the game.

That being said, the Australian batter has made a strong statement in T20 cricket weeks before the commencement of the T20 World Cup 2026. His ability to switch between formats was once again on display as he steered his side to victory in their ninth match of the season.

Though Smith does not have a very convincing record in T20I cricket, he has scored five half-centuries with almost 1,100 runs off 55 innings. His strike-rate has been sitting at 125.45, something that he has clearly worked on.
