Stoinis dominated with bat and ball that night, snaring 3-38 from four overs before he fell centimetres short of a heroic ton, run out for 99 from 51 balls in the last over of the Stars’ run chase.
His man-of-the-match performance equated to 257 SuperCoach BBL points, six more than Hobart star D’Arcy Short recorded when he blasted 122 not out from 69 balls against Brisbane Heat in January, 2018.
Stoinis amassed 244 points against Sydney Sixers during his record-breaking 147 not out on Sunday night, the third-highest SuperCoach BBL score in history.
His awe-inspiring display equated to 147 points for runs, 68 for strike rate bonus and 29 for boundaries scored.
