England and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Will Jacks hammered a ferocious half-century that included five consecutive sixes for Surrey against Middlesex in the England T20 Blast tournament. Jacks, who hit a scorching knock of 96 (45), smacked Middlesex leg-spinner Luke Hollman for five consecutive sixes and only missed out on emulating India’s Yuvraj Singh, who in the 2007 T20 World Cup hit six sixes in an over off Stuart Broad.

Rinku Singh helped KKR defeat Hardik Pandya’s team in the Indian Premier League 2023 by launching five sixes in the last over of their game against Gujarat Titans off the bowling of Yash Thakur. Jack’s spectacular display, nevertheless, was unable to give Surrey the victory. Middlesex successfully chased down the enormous target with only three wickets and 4 balls remaining. Max Holden remained unbeaten with 68 off 35 balls with 2 sixes and 9 fours, while captain Stephen Eskinazi set the pace with 73 off 39 balls with 1 six and 13 fours.
The incredible victory put an end to Middlesex’s South Group losing streak of 10 games in a row this season, but Surrey was denied the chance to pass Somerset at the top of the standings. The contest’s 506 runs broke the Vitality Blast record for greatest match aggregate score and was the second-highest successful run chase in T20 history, behind only South Africa’s record victory against the West Indies earlier this year by six runs.
RCB paid 3.2 crore to acquire Will Jacks. However, he was unable to participate in the IPL 2023 after suffering a muscular injury during England’s game against Bangladesh.
