In an electrifying performance at Lord’s, bowler Liam Livingstone scored 62 runs off only 27 balls. Thus, propelling him into the unforgettable list for most sixes in an ODI innings. He achieved this remarkable feat during England’s fourth ODI against Australia. He tyed the record held by legendary all-rounder Andrew Flintoff. Livingstone’s innings featured seven sixes and three fours, including a stunning finish against Australia’s fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who conceded 28 runs in the final over—four of those runs coming from sixes.

Breaking Records at Lord’s

Liam Livingstone’s  powerful display allowed him to join Flintoff, who famously hit seven sixes along with eight fours in his 123-run knock against the West Indies in 2004. England’s total of 312 runs in this match marks their highest score against Australia at Lord’s, featuring a record 12 sixes—the most by any team in an ODI at this venue.

England’s Strong Start

Australia won the toss but opted to field. England capitalized on this decision with a solid start, boasting a 48-run opening partnership. Captain Harry Brook led the charge, scoring 87 runs, just shy of a consecutive ODI century. Following Livingstone’s late fireworks, England finished their innings at 312 for 5 in 39 overs.

Australia’s Struggle

In response, Australia struggled significantly and was bowled out for a mere 126 runs in just 24.4 overs. The outstanding bowling performances from Matthew Potts (4/38) and Brydon Carse (3/36) played a crucial role in dismantling the Australian batting lineup. As a result, the five-match series is now level at 2-2, with Brook being awarded ‘Player of the Match.’
