Mitch Marsh launched a 106-metre six out of the ground to tie a SunRisers Leeds match on the final ball — the kind of moment that stops a crowd mid-sentence and sends phones into pockets, mouths open.

The strike, against London Spirit, capped a blistering innings that the BBC has now showcased in a highlight reel titled "He's in the mood — the best strikes of Marsh's blistering innings," published 4 August 2026 (BBC Sport). Available to UK viewers only, the footage captures the 34-year-old Australian all-rounder at his most destructive.

The Hundred — cricket's 100-balls-per-side competition — has given Marsh the kind of stage his timing thrives on. Each team faces 100 deliveries, no more, and every ball carries an urgency that longer formats dilute. Marsh has responded with numbers that jump off the scorecard.

Against Southern Brave on 26 July, he struck 69 from 34 balls, clearing the rope six times and finding it four more, as SunRisers Leeds posted 187-5 and won by five runs (Sky Sports). Dan Lawrence, unbeaten on 51 from 25, provided the late fuel.

Three days later, Leeds pulled off the third-highest successful chase in the Men's Competition's history against Manchester Super Giants, powered by Marsh, Zak Crawley, and Harry Brook (The Hundred). They won by eight wickets at Headingley.

Marsh has not been flawless. Against Trent Rockets, he fell for 41, caught by Sam Billings (Cricket Australia). But 41 in a format where every delivery tilts the scoreboard is still a contribution most sides would take.

What makes this stand out is the sheer scale of the hitting. A 106-metre six is not a standard cricket shot — it is a ball dispatched beyond the stadium's geometry, measured by the technology that tracks these things and remembered by anyone who saw it leave the bat. The Hundred's official site published footage of the shot on 2 August (The Hundred).

Marsh arrived at SunRisers Leeds as a direct signing in January, confirmed by the ECB (ECB). He was listed at £200,000 as an overseas player — a modest figure next to Harry Brook's £465,000 retention — and has quickly become the side's most visible engine.

For fans new to The Hundred, the appeal is straightforward: 100 balls, non-stop action, and players like Marsh who treat boundaries as the default rather than the exception. The tournament continues through August, with SunRisers Leeds chasing a top-three finish and Marsh in the kind of form that turns quiet overs into loud ones.
