Maxwell’s explosive knock propels Melbourne Stars to 219

In the match against the Hobart Hurricanes, the Melbourne Stars batted first. Maxwell came in at No. 5 with his team going 81-3 in 11th. Maxwell then blasted an impressive knock of 76* off 32 balls where he smashed 5 fours and 6 sixes at a strike rate of 237.50. He helped the Stars register a massive total of 219 runs, which earlier seemed to be out of reach.

Maxwell, who started this tournament badly, has now scored three consecutive half-centuries. It is a statement for everyone, especially Royal Challengers Bengaluru who released him ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. Meanwhile, his new team Punjab Kings will be happy with his performance as he is expected to be an important player for them next season.
