Watch: Stoinis hits 5 sixes in one over vs Holland

The Seattle Orcas captain, Marcus Stoinis, got his name in the record book with five sixes in an over against Ian Holland during the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 clash against the Washington Freedom at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland. It was a brutal batting performance from the right-handed batter.

A few days ago, the former West Indies captain, Rovman Powell, drilled five consecutive sixes against Dasun Shanaka in the competition. Stoinis didn’t get the five sixes consistently, though, with his fifth delivery being a dot ball.

Which over did Stoinis hit 5 sixes — and what made Holland's spell so costly?

It was the 17th over of the innings when Holland came to bowl at Stoinis, who picked up the slower delivery and muscled it over the sightscreen for a massive six. On the second delivery, Stoinis didn’t get the sweet connection, but it was enough to get over Glenn Maxwell, who was stationed at the long-on region.

The third delivery was nearly into the blockhole from Holland. But he wasn’t spot on with his plans, as Stoinis used his power and put it into the V down the ground, as this time he went over the long-off region for the same result.

The fourth delivery was full as the bowler attempted a leg-cutter. The variation wasn’t hidden by the bowler. Stoinis delayed his bat swing and powered this over the long-off for a six. The fifth delivery was into the body of the batter, who mistimed the pull. But he finished the over with the fifth six straight down the ground.
