The match between Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League 2024-25 saw a crucial turning point when leg-spinner Cameron Boyce outsmarted Marcus Stoinis. Stoinis, who was in aggressive form, had already scored 27 runs off 19 balls, looking poised to take control of the game. However, in the 6th over, Boyce started with a surprising googly, which spun back into Stoinis, catching him off-guard. Stoinis attempted a big shot but ended up losing his stumps, marking a key breakthrough for Adelaide Strikers.
This dismissal shifted momentum as the Stars’ middle order collapsed. Just a few overs later, Glenn Maxwell, another crucial player for the Stars, was dismissed for 15 runs off 5 balls. Boyce’s tactic of using the googly effectively disrupted the Melbourne Stars’ chase, leaving the team with a mountain to climb. The Strikers’ spin strategy proved decisive, and with Stoinis and Maxwell back in the pavilion, the Stars were left struggling to keep up with the target.
