Though the match was slightly titled in Australia’s favour when Marcus Stoinis came out to bat against Sri Lanka in Perth on Tuesday during the ongoing T20 World Cup. However, it will always be remembered as Stoinis’ game because of the fantastic power-hitting he displayed against the hapless Sri Lankan bowlers. He remained not out on 59 after playing 18 deliveries. Out of the 18 balls he played, he scored 6 sixes, 4 fours, 1 double and 5 singles. Two dot balls were also there.
