Glenn Maxwell’s innings came to an end when he was dismissed by Henry Thornton in the seventh over of the second innings. Thornton bowled a full-length ball on the stumps and Maxwell went for a big swing but missed. His departure marked the end of his quickfire cameo for Melbourne Stars.
After the ball struck Glenn Maxwell right in front of the middle stump, the umpire raised his finger, signaling the end of Maxwell’s innings. Melbourne Stars won the toss and chose to field first. Adelaide Strikers top order struggled against the Stars bowlers, with Matthew Short and Jake Weatherald unable to make much impact, partly due to disciplined bowling from Adam Milne and Glenn Maxwell.
