“Worth nine”: Sam Heazlett hits monstrous six off Spencer Johnson in Queensland vs South Australia Marsh Cup clash

Sam Heazlett hits monstrous six: The opening batsman from Queensland scored a stroke-filled 10th List A half-century.

During the 12th match of the ongoing Marsh Cup season between Queensland and South Australia in Brisbane, Queensland opening batsman Sam Heazlett hit a stroke-filled 11th List A half-century to provide his team with a quickfire start.

Opening the batting with captain Usman Khawaja (50), the pair stitched a 118-run opening partnership after South Australia captain Travis Head won the toss and chose to field.

Heazlett, who was the dominating partner in the partnership, ended up scoring 65 (64) with the help of four fours and four sixes before getting out to South Australia pacer Spencer Johnson.

Earlier, one of Heazlett’s eight boundaries had come against Johnson when he pulled the left-arm quick way over the deep square leg fielder. In what was an ordinary short delivery well within the hitting region, Heazlett timed his exceedingly well to sent the ball far away from the boundary rope.

Apart from the opening duo, Queensland’s Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw also scored individual half-centuries before getting out in the business of the innings. While Labuschagne’s 80-ball 82 comprised of six fours and three sixes, Renshaw’s 56 (60) comprised of four fours and two sixes.
