Commentators couldn’t stop laughing, joking that Warner might need a concussion test after hitting himself. Fortunately, he was not injured and replaced the bat before returning to work.
Warner’s Blazing Knock
Despite the bizarre start, Warner was in no mood to slow down. The veteran opener went on to make an unbeaten 88 off 66 balls, taking Sydney Thunder to a total of 164 for 6. His innings was full of classic Warner shots and he held down the fort even as the wickets swirled around him.
Currently, Warner is the leading run scorer in this one BBL season, amassing 316 runs in just seven innings. His form has been one of the few bright spots for the Thunder this season.
Support from Sam Billings, but others are struggling
Warner got a little help from Sam Billings, who scored a handy 28. The duo added 34 crucial runs after Thunder lost two quick wickets. But other than that, the rest of the lineup failed to make any impact. Ollie Davies and Sam Konstas couldn’t hang on for long, leaving Warner to carry the burden.
Chasing 165, Hobart Hurricanes cruised to victory. Team David he stole the show with a blistering 68 off 38 balls, taking his team home with 19 balls to spare. The win pushed the Hurricanes to the top of the BBL points table, while the Thunder were left with no head.
