Few players can exhibit their batting skills in both test matches and limited-overs games. England's opener Ben Duckettcertainly epitomized that in the game between Southern Braves and Birmingham Phoenix, where he struck two fours and a six off Jofra Archer, showing his Bazball skills.

‌The Southern Braves enjoyed a successful batting performance after losing the toss, with Alex Davies and James Vince quickly bringing the score to 81/0 in the ninth set. Despite Davies and Leus du Plooy not managing to score big, Kieron Pollard joined Vince for a 68-run partnership, taking the total to 169/2. In reply, the Phoenix had a strong start as Ben Duckett and Aneurin Donald advanced to 30/0 in just 15 balls. The highlight came when Duckett hit Jofra Archer for two scorching fours and a six, showing his skills in The Hundred.

Known by his recent Bazball approach in the Test arena, Duckett looked impressive, striking at a rate of 200. On the 26th delivery, Archer bowled a back-of-a-length ball angled across the off stump. Furthermore, Duckett extended his arms and edged the ball past the wicketkeeper for a boundary. The next delivery was a short ball, and Duckett used the pace to launch it over backward square leg for a 78-meter six. Adding to Archer's troubles, the southpaw pulled the subsequent slower ball across the line for another boundary to deep mid-wicket. Meanwhile, Duckett's batting onslaught and Archer's frustration sparked a flurry of discussions on Twitter.
