In the second semi-final of the T20 Blast 2025 between Northamptonshire and Hampshire at Edgbaston, Chris Lynn tore into Llyod Pope, hitting five sixes in an over.
Lynn, who has played for the KKR in the Indian Premier League, is also the first player to achieve a century in the T20 Finals Day’s 22-year history.
Pope had allowed only 21 runs in his first three overs. Lynn, who was on 78 off 45 at the outset of the 15th over of the run chase, finished with his sixth century in the format. The 35-year-old top-order batsman struck out of the top draw with power.

All five of Lynn’s maximums were hit towards the leg side fence. He missed the sweep on the final ball of the over to make it six in six. The match concluded in the next over itself, though. Hampshire won the encounter by six wickets with 14 deliveries to spare via the DLS method. Lynn deservedly secured the Player of the Match award for almost single-handedly winning the game for his team.
I was just trying to join Yuvraj [Singh] and Polly [Kieron Pollard] with those six sixes,” stated Lynn in a joking manner when asked about his sentiments after hitting the fifth ball of the 15th over for a maximum.
Hampshire lost a high-scoring thriller to emerge as runners-up later in the day. Lynn could not replicate his pyrotechnics against Somerset. He ended up scoring only 12 off 7. Somerset won the match by six wickets with as many deliveries to go, thanks to a power-packed 58-ball 94-run knock from Will Smeed while chasing down a steep 195 for victory. Lynn ended the tournament with 222 runs scored in four matches at an outrageous strike rate of 198.21.
