Steve Smith makes history in Sydney Smash
Connor Scanlon • January 17th, 2026 2:59 pm
The Sydney Sixers defeated their cross-town rivals, the Sydney Thunder, by 5 wickets, winning the Sydney Smash.
But it was Steve Smith who stole the show, scoring a whopping 100 runs off 42 balls.
In fact, Smith became the first man ever to hit four BBL centuries.
Smith's best batting period came when he scored 32 runs off a single over, hitting four sixes straight.
The Australian Test captain didn't do it alone though, forming an excellent partnership with Babar Azam, scoring a combined 141 runs off 73 balls.
For the Thunder though, it was all David Warner.
The captain put on a vintage showing, scoring 110 runs (not out) off 65 balls in their final BBL showing of the season.
While the Thunder's season may be over, finishing dead last with only two wins from 10 games, the Sixers have one game remaining.
They will face the Brisbane Heat on Monday in what promises to be an enthralling game ahead of the finals.
