WATCH: Mitchell Owens six hitting in his debut international match against West Indies

A dream international debut for Micthell Owen. When he came to bat at Sabina Park as the number 6 batsman of Australia, they needed 113 runs to win the match off 70. Owen, under pressure, on his debut match in Australia colors, showed no sing of rust.

He did his job so precisely that Australia touched the desired mark before the end of 19th over. As a deserving candidate, Mitchell Owen got the man of the match award for his allround performance. Against West Indies, in the 1st of the 5-match T20I series, the emerging cricketer not only did wonders with the bat, also took the wicket of dengerous looking West Indies skipper Shai Hope.

Because of his 50 off 27 on his career's first international match, Owen became the only third Australia player to smacked half century on a debuted match after Ricky Ponting and David Warner. The 23-year-old in his innings chose to hit only over boundaries to match the required run rate. He touched the milestone with six 6s, without any boundaries.

Three sixes in an over

Akeal Hosein, one of the most effective bowlers for West Indies in the game, conceded three sixes in an over when he went against the young Aussie gun. Andre Russell, verge of retiring from international cricket, leaked 18.50 runs on average in his 2-over spell. Experienced West Indies allrounder Jason Holder also proved ineffective when he stepped up to counter the right-handed player.

Owen's blazing innings came when Australia was chasing a target of 190, loosing multiple top order batters cheaply. Then, Cameron Green (51) and Micthell Owen played the much required hands Australia required the most.
