It’s raining sixes at the Manuka Oval. Daniel Sams has taken this season’s Big Bash League to a whole different level by his explosive unbeaten knock of 65* (25). The young Australian changed the game completely and won the match for his team, Sydney Thunders.
The Video of Daniel Sams That Went Viral On Social Media
It looks like Daniel Sams is born to make the headlines. In the last match against Melbourne Stars, a rare incident happened when Daniel Sams was bowling. Batsman Nick Larkin missed a sweep and sneaked a quick single. The fielders could find the ball nowhere. It was later discovered that the ball got stuck in the inner concavity of Larkin’s pad. Social media couldn’t stop laughing on that hilarious incident.
Today, Daniel Sams again made the headlines, but this time for his brilliant performance in the match between his side Sydney Thunders and Brisbane Heats.

Brisbane Heats won the toss and decided to bat first. They got just the start they wanted, courtesy of a decent opening partnership between Max Bryant and Sam Heazlette. After that, the star of the moment, Daniel Sams dismissed Heazlette, Brisbane’s Mr Responsible Chris Lynn came in to bat. The Australian went on to play a brilliant knock of 69(44) and successfully took his side to a stable position. He was then dismissed by Chris Green. Dan Lawrence and Jack Wildermuth also played important knocks. Jack played an explosive knock of 31 off 11 that took Brisbane Heats to a defendable total of 178/6 in 20 overs. Jonathan Cook and Daniel Sams took two wickets each for Sydney Thunders.
Coming in to chase the huge total, Sydney Thunders did not get an ideal start. Brisbane’s Jack Wildermuth demolished their top order by taking three consecutive wickets at quick succession. Usman Khawaja, Alex Hales and Callum Ferguson were all dismissed by the young Australian pacer. Alex then came in and built momentum by his knock of 34 (24).
