Publisher’s rating: Altered

The review says the video was edited to make it appear that Powell hit six sixes in one over against England. In the 2022 T20 match, Powell scored 107 from 53 balls and hit 10 sixes overall; only four were off Liam Livingstone, and they came in three overs. The video also combined footage from another match, while its commentary was from a different cricket match.
