Hobart Hurricanes 3 for 189 (Short 97, McDermott 49) beat Sydney Thunder 8 for 180 (Buttler 81, Boyce 2-14) by nine runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Hobart Hurricanes put themselves on the map in the seventh edition of the Big Bash League by outpointing Sydney Thunder at the Showgrounds for their first win of the competition. For this, they were largely indebted to D’Arcy Short for an innings that was both aggressive and spinal, tallying 97 with excellent support from Ben McDermott.
Jos Buttler’s response featured arguably the cleanest hitting of the tournament to date, but he was unable to summon sufficient support. Cameron Boyce was exceptional in a spell that claimed the key wicket of Shane Watson, before Tymal Mills responded to an early pasting from Buttler by making clever use of slower balls to concede just six runs from the 18th over and also take the wicket of Ryan Gibson.
