Sydney Thunder v Sydney Sixers ? Big Bash League, 2012/13 ? Live Cricket Score and Match Update ? Daniel Hughes propels Sixers to 4-wicket win
A steady unbeaten half-ton from Daniel Hughes saw the Sydney Sixers to a rare 4-wicket win over the Sydney Thunder, in their Big Bash League match today on December 30, at the Stadium Australia in Sydney.
The target of 133, appeared achievable enough, and the Sixers did not look to be in danger at any point in the match, thanks to Player of the Match Daniel Hughes. The Thunder?s Dirk Nannes (4-0-24-3), Chris Gayle (4-0-17-2), and Chris Tremain (4-0-35-1) attempted to defend the total, but the team did not appear to be truly in the game at any point, and were eventually unable to contain the Sixers? batsmen.
Nic Maddinson (7) made an early exit, dismissed by Nannes in the fourth over, and Michael Lumb (20) followed him in the very next over, sent packing by Tremain. However, coming in at number 3, Daniel Hughes anchored the innings with a solid unbeaten 51 off 36.
Wicketkeeper skipper Brad Haddin (18) and Steven Smith (14) both managed to serve as effective partners for Hughes, with the former joining him for a 34-run stand, while the latter formed part of a 19-run stand for the 4th wicket. However, Haddin was soon upended by Gayle, while Nannes took care of Smith, leaving the Sixers at 82 for 4 by the 14th over.
Moises Henriques (7) and Steve O?Keefe (3) were similarly lacklustre, but Brett Lee (12*) joined Hughes for an unbeaten 18-run partnership, which took them over the finish line, and got them up to 136 with 4 wickets and 6 balls remaining.
Earlier, the team?s bowlers had succeeded in restricting the Thunder to a low total, with Josh Lalor (4-0-20-2) and Luke Feldman (4-0-23-2) leading the attack, while Moises Henriques and Sunil Narine both chipped in with one wicket each.
Only three of the Thunder?s batsmen succeeded in passing single digits, and from among these, Usman Khawaja was the only one who managed to put up a fight, remaining unbeaten on 66. Simon Keen (15) and Scott Coyte (11*) were both unremarkable, while the rest failed to contribute anything substantial. By the end of 20 overs, with 6 wickets down, Thunder finished at 132, and the team?s bowlers were eventually unable to defend the middling total.
