Stoinis goes ballistic to smash brilliant last-ball ton
Stoinis cast aside a modest World Cup campaign in England with an extraordinary display of hitting that yielded seven sixes, including four off a 28-run Scott Boland over.
Despite arriving at the crease in the 33rd over, Stoinis turned on the afterburners to reach his ton with a six off the last ball of the innings to reach 101 off just 58 balls and take WA to 8-386.
