Result involved in hitting a six? (6)
I believe the answer is:
upshot
'result' is the definition.
('upshot' can be a synonym of 'result')
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upshot that I've seen before include "Outcome, consequence" , "issue" , "Outcome of vertical discharge?" , "Eventual outcome or conclusion" , "anti-aircraft fire?" .)
