WATCH: Liam Livingstone Hits the Ball onto the Roof in the BBL 2019/20

Perth Scorchers batsman Liam Livingstone hit a massive six onto the roof of the Simons stadium, Geelong during his match-winning innings against Melbourne Renegades in the 2019/20 BBL.

To a ball bowled Lancashire teammate Richard Glesson, Livingstone launched a heave that took the ball onto the roof of the stadium.

A video of the huge hit was obtained from the BBL’s official twitter handle.

In the very next over Livingstone got hit hard by Will Sutherland to a ball that was recorded at 151 kmph. He could be heard shouting “oh no” through the stump mic as he went to ground in pain.

Cameron Bancroft later ensured the Scorcher’s victory.

Livingstone was named the man of the match for his performance and he hoped to keep up his good performances. “We needed this. We have been playing some good cricket but just weren’t able to get over the line. Hopefully, we’ll keep this momentum through the tournament. My leg-side play is my strength but I am trying to work on my game. Our next game is a big game; we played well against them the last time. Hopefully we can keep playing well and take the momentum going forward,” Livingstone said after being awarded the Man of the Match.
