Right then! That is all we have from this clash! We have another match coming up though. The venue remains the same, the big and magnificent MCG and Adelaide Strikers will face Melbourne Stars in that game. The first ball will be bowled at 1:45 pm IST (8:15 am GMT) but join my colleagues for the buildup that begins much earlier. See you there!
Alex Hales is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten knock of 80. He says that it wasn't an easy wicket to bat on and initially it was helping the bowlers. Adds that he tried to enjoy himself during the quarantine period and kept things simple. Tells that it is his third year with Sydney Thunder and they are a good bunch of players. Mentions that he is not superstitious at all and he enjoys himself playing in the Big Bash League.
A tough game for Hobart Hurricanes. They did get the wicket of Gilkes quite early but the target was never big enough to put Thunder under a lot of pressure. The spin duo of Short and Lamichhane bowled really well with Short getting the wicket but the rest of the bowlers had a tough game. They were let down by their batting as this total was just not enough on this deck.
Sydney Thunder had a nice start at the top with Gilkes and Hales scoring at a nice pace. But the wicket of Gilkes set them back a bit. Scoring became difficult as the spinners came on and they even lost the Bash Boost point. But never did they panic as they had wickets in hand and the target was low. Sangha turned up the heat a bit and took off the pressure. But it was the striking of Hales that sealed the deal. He took a fair bit of time to get to his fifty but once the Power Surge was taken, there was no stopping him. He ended with a score of 80* from just 56 balls and sealed the deal.
An easy win for Sydney Thunder and they get their sixth win in a row. They are looking in great form and this game was another demonstration of just that.
