To succeed in life, primarily, one needs to have a great aim followed by a perfect execution. While Mark Stekette faltered to stick to this phenomenon initially, he pulled up his socks and grabbed a couple of scalps in a unique ten balls over in the Melbourne Derby between the Stars and the Gades.

The Melbourne Stars failed to get a good start after being put to bat first as Ben Duckett was a goner in the first over itself. Following a decent powerplay, they lost four wickets in a space of 21 balls with the score 55/5. Unfettered by the setbacks, Glenn Maxwell bludgeoned the opposition bowlers all around the park, smacking a 52-ball 90 to steer the Stars to 165 runs in 20 overs. In response, their bowlers matched Maxwell’s intensity despite a misfiring start from Stekette in the second over. 

The right-arm pacer kicked off his spell with three wides – two of which were down the leg stump line – before bowling a couple of dots to Josh Brown. Eventually, another wide followed before Brown went off the strike with a single. On the fourth legal delivery of the over, the Queenslander bowled a length delivery that swing in at the leg stump but Marcus Harris got early to close the bat face on the flick and got the leading edge towards backward point. A ball later, Steketter claimed another one with Usama Mir taking a brilliant catch at mid-wicket, leaving the Twitterverse amazed in a ten-ball over.

 What an over!
