Milestone
Hobart 'hurricane' their way to a 206-run target to render David Warner's impressive century futile. With this they also climb to the top of the points table.
However, tomorrow, Melbourne Stars will have the chance to reclaim the apex spot when they lock horns with Will Sutherland's Renegades in the Melbourne derby. That is the first of the two matches lined up for Sunday. The second will see Perth Scorchers lock horns with Adelaide Strikers.
Don't forget to tune in for those fixtures. For now, this is Darpan Tikiya, Anirudh Modi, Aman and Ashok Dayma signing off. See you soon!

David Warner (Player of the Match): "It was tough to lose 2 early wickets. But we knew we needed to hang in there and play good cricket. The strength and power they had the top, we thought one of them might go off but both of them did.
Been in this situation a few times in my career in all formats, he needs to bat it out and give himself some time. We are trying to work out how to go about in the first 4. We go hard at the back end but we have some things to work out.
Just looking to keep the girls happy. They have chased well in the last couple of years and without Tim David we could have had a better surge. Credit to Mitch, he has found it tough, but hopefully for him he can keep coming out and bat this way.
We have played 1 complete game this season, it's back to basics with the ball and the bat. If we are able to do that then we can win. We are doing well, just not winning at the moment."

5:07 PM IST, 10:37 PM local time: Hobart have "hurricaned" their way to the target of 206. They achieve the target with 13 balls to spare and are back to winning ways.
The imposing opening stand between Tim Ward and Mitchell Owen set it up for them. The latter batted himself back into form during a belligerent 18-ball-45. He put brute force on display battering the ball to both sides of the ground and hit 5 powerful sixes through his innings.
However, the main act was the left-handed opener, who notched up his maiden BBL half-century. He was not afraid to move around in his crease and scoop/lap the ball every now and then. When the bowlers adjusted to a shorter length, he would rock back and carve it through the off side. Effervescence coupled with street smarts enabled him to score at a strike rate of 183.67. Alas, the very same thing also turned out be his demise as he feathered one to the keeper while attempting a lap shot when he was on 90.
But then, Nikhil Chaudhary stole the limelight with 14-ball-29* and got the team home.
Earlier, David Warner turned back the clock. Perhaps, he misread 2026 as 2016 on his calendar. The familiar open stance, steadfast 'punch and run', loud calls, robust slashes through off and the delectable pick-up shots through the leg side — all vintage Warner stuff was on display. The southpaw clocked his highest BBL score and remained unbeaten on 130* (65).
It was particularly impressive because Sydney Thunder had begun their innings by losing two wickets off the first two balls. Will Prestwidge, who was playing his first game of the season, got those breakthroughs. Another man who was playing his first match this season impressed. Back after a battle with cancer, Nic Maddinson scored a 26-ball-30, playing the perfect foil to Warner, and then retired out.
Daniel Sams, who replaced him, scored a 6-ball14* and then, later also picked 3 wickets with the ball. But that wasn't enough to take the home team to a win.
