Ferreira, who was named player of the match, hit a total of four sixes in that over alone. His second six came from a short and wide delivery, which he effortlessly pulled over cow corner.
Owen attempted to change his strategy with another short ball outside off, but Ferreira was quick to shuffle across and smashed it over long-off for yet another six. After a brief interlude with two twos, he concluded the over with a powerful shot, driving a delivery wide of off straight back over the bowler's head.
Donovan Ferreira's peak madness at MLC, he hit 4 sixes in the last over. 🔥💛💥
