On the night of December 29, 2025, Pakistan's street cricket wrote a brand new chapter. It was the Big Final Match with the trophy right on display, over 5,000 spectators in attendance, and Tamour Mirza—popularly known as the "Sixer King"—standing at the crease.What happened next inspired every single kid playing street cricket to dream of becoming like Tamour. Tamour Mirza smashed 6 sixes on 6 consecutive balls in a single over to complete a historic 100-run inning. These weren't just sixes; it was a loud and clear message that there is absolutely no shortage of talent in the streets of Pakistan.
Match Background: The Pressure of the Big Final:
This was no ordinary league match. It was the biggest final of the year. The trophy was on one side, and pride was on the other. The opposing team's bowler had already put his team in a commanding position by taking 2 early wickets in the very first over.When Tamour Mirza came out to bat, the score was a struggling 45/3. The team needed 95 runs off just 8 overs. Everyone assumed the match was over. However, Tamour had a smile on his face. He lifted his bat, looked up at the sky, and what he did next became a permanent part of cricket history.
6 Balls 6 Sixes: A Ball-by-Ball Breakdown:
The 19th over—an over that no one will ever forget:
Ball 1 – The Beginning: The bowler bowled a full-length delivery. Tamour used his feet beautifully and dispatched the ball over mid-wicket, right out of the park for a 90-meter six. The crowd erupted to their feet. Score: 51/3.
Ball 2 – Power Display: The bowler opted for a bouncer. Tamour shifted back and executed a ferocious pull shot. The ball went straight into the stands, sending kids scrambling to catch it. Score: 57/3. The bowler looked completely deflated.
Ball 3 – Pure Class: This was a searing yorker clocked at 140 km/h. Yet, Tamour managed to "dig it out" and lofted a magnificent straight six down the ground. The ball went entirely out of the stadium and was lost, forcing the umpires to call for a new ball. Score: 63/3. By this point, chants of "Tamour, Tamour!" echoed across the entire ground.
Ball 4 – Mind Games: The bowler tried a wide yorker to keep the ball out of Tamour's reach. Tamour smartly moved across his crease, reached for the ball, and sent it sailing over covers for a six. This wasn't just a hit; it was pure art. Score: 69/3.
Ball 5 – Crushing the Pressure: Only 2 balls remained to achieve the 6-sixes milestone. The whole of Pakistan held its breath. The bowler delivered a slower ball. Tamour paused for a split second and then launched it high over long-off, hitting the streetlights. Score: 75/3. Five sixes were officially in the bag.
Ball 6 – Writing History: The final ball. Hitting the 6th six would also mean completing a monumental 100-run knock. The bowler bowled a juicy full toss. Tamour put all his strength into it. The ball soared into the night sky, higher and higher, disappearing well past the boundary.
BOOM! 6 Balls 6 Sixes + 100 Runs Completed!
The entire stadium went absolutely wild. People were crying tears of joy, chanting at the top of their lungs, and recording the historic moment on their phones. Tamour raised his bat to salute the roaring crowd as his teammates rushed onto the field to embrace him. It was the exact moment a local boy proved that nothing is impossible.
The Significance of the 100-Run Inning
Scoring a century in tape ball cricket is incredibly difficult. In a standard 12-over match, scoring 100 runs typically requires a run off almost every single delivery. Amazingly, Tamour completed this century in just 38 balls. His explosive innings included 10 towering sixes and 4 boundaries.What made this century truly special was that it was forged under the extreme pressure of a Big Final. When his team needed it most and when everyone else had lost hope, Tamour stood tall and won the match. That is exactly what separates a legend from an ordinary player.
Who is Tamour Mirza? The Story of the Sixer King
Tamour Mirza hails from Lahore. The 24-year-old youth picked up a tape ball at the tender age of 8. He had no formal academy training, no professional coach, and no expensive gear. He was just a son of the streets driven by raw, unadulterated passion.To date, he holds the mind-boggling record of hitting "6 balls 6 sixes" 17 times in his career. Even PSL talent scouts regularly come down to watch him play. However, Tamour humbly states:"I love street cricket. The respect and love I receive here cannot be bought with any amount of money."
