Glenn Maxwell's Stunning 90 Leads Melbourne Stars to Key BBL Victory

Despite being left out of Australia's Test squad, Maxwell's explosive knock kept the Stars' finals hopes alive in a thrilling comeback win.

Glenn Maxwell scored a remarkable 90 runs off 52 balls, including 10 sixes, to rescue the Melbourne Stars from a precarious 75/7 against the Melbourne Renegades.
Maxwell's innings included a monstrous 122-meter six, one of the longest in recent memory, and a hat-trick of sixes in the 18th over of the game.
The Stars posted a total of 165, which proved too much for the Renegades, who were bowled out for 123, keeping the Stars in contention for the BBL finals.
Maxwell acknowledged the Australian selectors' decision to prioritize younger players for the upcoming Sri Lanka Test tour, effectively ending his Test career aspirations.
The Stars now have one match left in the regular season against the Hobart Hurricanes, while the Renegades remain in contention with two games remaining.
