Sydney Thunder flex batting muscles in big win

Sydney Thunder enrolled their third consecutive win in the wake of setting up a telling batting execution against Hobart Typhoons.

The invasion with the bat started through the openers, with Matthew Gilkes crushing 33 of the 36-run stand with Alex Hales before he was excused. This permitted Hales to take centerstage from that point. Crushing four sixes and five fours, the opener blasted away to 77.

While Hales batted through untl the last over of the innings, he was very much upheld by another appearance that raised the stakes. Oliver Davies hit five fours and as a large number in his 32-ball 65, and put on 105 with Hales. His flight to Nathan Ellis, notwithstanding, set off a small scale breakdown where Ellis picked two more with hardly a pause in between, leaving Roar in a spot of trouble. In any case, Hales' hand ended up being sufficient to get them to a mammoth 228.

The Typhoons gave a decent record of their batting in the pursuit, drove by Matthew Swims' 30-ball 67 that saved them in the game for some time. Yet, his takeoff simply past the midway imprint drove the way for a quick breakdown. While the run-rate stayed great, Brendan Doggett's four-wicket pull was sufficient to guarantee that the Storms were bowled out in only 17 overs.

Brief Scores: Sydney Thunder 228/6 (Alex Hales 77, Oliver Davies 65; Nathan Ellis 4-37) beat Hobart Hurricanes 166 (Matthew Wade 67; Brendan Doggett 4-35) by 62 runs
