‌WATCH, NZ vs SL | Glenn Phillips’s brute power sends the ball soaring into commentary box with 109 metre hit

New Zealand got off to a flying start in the first innings, thanks to Mitchell Hay’s mix of orthodox and fancy strokes inside the 48-run powerplay. Despite losing Rachin Ravindra early, a 69 runs second-wicket partnership set up for Glenn Phillip's arrival who amused the crowd with a gigantic six during the middle overs phase.

Having hit just a couple of fours in the ten balls that he faced, Phillips took the charge against Maheesh Theekshana on the third ball of the 13th over. The spinner sprayed the white rock in the slot at the stumps but the right-hander made room and slogged it downtown fine of long on for a six. The magnitude of the stroke was such that the ball hovered all the way to the top of the commentary box and the giant screen read a 109-metre six.
