The Super Kings posted a total of 87/2 - the second-highest ever in a five-over match - on Wednesday, July 2 (local time). Donovan Ferreira smashed an unbeaten 37 off just 9 balls, while Shubham Ranjane added 39* off 14 balls. TSK then defended the target with ease, limiting Washington Freedom to 44/4.
Washington Freedom captain Glenn Maxwell handed the ball to Mitchell Owen for the final over, and Ferreira launched the very first delivery for a massive 106-metre six over deep mid-wicket. The ball sailed out of the stadium, leaving Akeal Hosein in the dugout visibly stunned.

Donovan Ferreira Smashes 5 Sixes off 9 Balls During 5-Over Match
Ferreira then smashed two sixes to complete a hat-trick of maximums. Ferreira and Shubham Ranjane ran hard between the wickets to collect two doubles on the next two deliveries. Ferreira hammered the final ball of the innings over the ropes once again to seal an explosive finish.
Rachin Ravindra gave Washington Freedom a promising start to their chase with a four and a six. However, Nandre Burger delivered a major blow by dismissing both Ravindra and Glenn Maxwell on consecutive deliveries, putting Freedom on the back foot.

With the score at 34/1 at that point, the tactical move to retire Mitchell proved to be a turning point. The decision allowed TSK to accelerate in the final two overs, setting up a strong finish that helped them gain the upper hand against Washington Freedom.
