Shimron Hetmyer, the explosive left-handed batter from Rajasthan Royals, turned the game upside down with an incredible performance in the Global Super League 2025 semi-final. Playing for Guyana Amazon Warriors against Hobart Hurricanes on July 16 at Providence Stadium, Hetmyer smashed 39 runs off just 10 balls. His highlight was hitting five sixes in a single over, helping his team chase down 126 runs to reach the final.
The Guyana Amazon Warriors were in trouble during their chase of 126 runs. They were at 42/3 after nine overs, needing 84 runs from 63 balls. Then, Shimron Hetmyer walked to the crease. His arrival changed everything. After a dot ball and a single against Usama Mir, Hetmyer faced Fabian Allen in the 10th over. What happened next was pure magic for Guyana Amazon Warriors fans.
In the 10th over, Hetmyer went wild. His first six flew over long-on, a powerful shot that set the tone. The second ball was a lofted shot, dropped by Odean Smith, but it crossed the boundary for another six. Next, Hetmyer hit the sight screen with a massive shot. The fourth ball soared over deep mid-wicket for his fourth six. On the fifth ball, he took two runs. Finally, he ended the over with another huge six over deep mid-wicket off a shorter delivery. This over alone added 32 runs, bringing the Warriors to 75/3 at the halfway point. Hetmyer’s five sixes in one over became the talk of the Global Super League 2025.
Hetmyer’s explosive show didn’t stop there. In the next over, he hit another six off Usama Mir, adding more runs to his tally. However, his quick-fire 39 off 10 balls ended when Jackson Bird caught him off Mir’s bowling. By then, Hetmyer had done his job. His big hits shifted the game’s momentum, making the chase easier for Guyana Amazon Warriors. Moeen Ali stayed calm and guided the team to a four-wicket victory with 21 balls to spare, securing their spot in the Global Super League 2025 final against Rangpur Riders on July 18.

Before Hetmyer’s heroics, the Guyana Amazon Warriors bowlers set up the win. They restricted Hobart Hurricanes to just 125 runs in 16.1 overs. Gudakesh Motie was the star with the ball, taking three wickets for only nine runs. Moeen Ali and Imran Tahir each took two wickets, keeping the Hurricanes’ batters in check. Fabian Allen was the top scorer for Hobart Hurricanes with 28 runs off 20 balls, but it wasn’t enough. Motie’s brilliant bowling earned him the Player of the Match award.
This performance was a big moment for Shimron Hetmyer. In his earlier Global Super League 2025 matches, he scored only 13, 12, and 14 runs, which was below his usual standard. However, this explosive 39 off 10 balls showed he’s back to his best. Before this tournament, Hetmyer had a great run in Major League Cricket 2025, scoring unbeaten knocks of 97, 62, and 78 for Seattle Orcas. His ability to hit big sixes, like the five sixes in one over against Hobart Hurricanes, makes him a dangerous player in T20 cricket.
Hetmyer’s knock changed the game. At 42/3, the Warriors were struggling. His five sixes in one over against Fabian Allen turned a tough chase into an easy one. This kind of batting is why Hetmyer is a key player for both Guyana Amazon Warriors and Rajasthan Royals. His quick scoring and fearless style make him one of the most exciting batters in the Global Super League 2025.
