Tim Seifert slams a massive 119-meter six
Seifert exhibited his wrecking-ball batting skills during New Zealand’s innings with a gargantuan six that left the crowd in ecstasy.
The moment was produced on the first ball of the third over when Afridi bowled a length ball outside off, which came in across the right-handed batter. Seifert, clearing his front foot, slammed a brutal shot down the ground. The ball went high in the night sky and covered 119 meters, which was one of the longest sixes of the match.
The sheer power and timing of the shot left all, including Shaheen, stunned. Even the commentators were left stunned by the sheer length the ball traveled.

Seifert takes Shaheen Afridi to the cleaners
Seifert did not rest after the humongous six; rather, he went on a rampage against Pakistan’s top fast bowler, taking Shaheen to the cleaners with three more towering sixes in the same over.
- 2nd ball: A length ball wide outside off, which Seifert smashed over covers for another huge six, showcasing his impeccable hand-eye coordination.
- 5th ball: A well-timed pull over deep mid-wicket, taking the ball deep into the stands.
- 6th ball: A short-of-length ball, which Seifert punched over deep square leg with ease, marking his supremacy over the left-arm pacer.
Shaheen, arguably the world’s most feared bowler, went on to concede 26 runs off one over, leaving the momentum firmly in New Zealand’s hands.
