Glenn Maxwell's Gravity-Defying Catch Stuns Big Bash League Fans

The Melbourne Stars secured their first win of the season with Maxwell's acrobatic brilliance and a strong partnership between Marcus Stoinis and Dan Lawrence.

  • Glenn Maxwell executed a one-handed boundary catch during the Melbourne Stars' match against Brisbane Heat, widely hailed as one of the greatest in Big Bash League history.
  • Maxwell's catch involved leaping over the boundary, juggling the ball mid-air, and successfully completing the take after re-entering the field of play.
  • The Melbourne Stars broke an eight-game losing streak, chasing down Brisbane Heat's total of 149 with 11 balls to spare.
  • Marcus Stoinis (62 off 48) and Dan Lawrence (64* off 38) anchored the Stars' batting with a 134-run partnership after an early collapse left them at 3-14.
  • Max Bryant's unbeaten 77 off 48 balls provided the bulk of Brisbane Heat's runs, but the team suffered their third consecutive loss this season.
