ST vs HH

David Warner: Look it was. Tough losing two early wickets. But if you hang in for a while, can score. It was one of those matches where (Tim Ward) Wardy or (Mitch) Owen were going to go off. Unfortunately, both went off. You know when it is a true surface, you can give yourself some time. You just have to negotiate the new ball. This is a nice surface here at the moment. We as a group have to work out how to play here. They are a class team and have chased down very well in the last two years. They dictated the chase from the word go. (On Mitch Owen) Credit to him, he had a tough start but was a bit stiller than the earlier games. We have played one complete game. (Matthew) Gilkes and Sammy (Sam Konstas) batted well and the bowlers were good. The morale is still high in the group. We are up and about but just not winning.

Hobart Hurricanes pull off a stunning run chase, racing to 207/4 in just 17.5 overs to defeat Sydney Thunder in a high-octane thriller at Sydney Showground Stadium.
Batting Highlights (Hurricanes):
Tim Ward 90 (49) | Mitchell Owen 45 (18) | Nikhil Chaudhary 29 (14)*
Bowling Figures (Thunder):
Daniel Sams 3/36 (3) | Wes Agar 1/33 (3)
What a sensational chase this has been from the Hobart Hurricanes. Chasing a daunting 206, the Hurricanes came out with fearless intent, led by a breathtaking innings from Tim Ward, who fell just short of a deserved century. His knock set the tone early, combining timing with power and keeping the required rate well under control.

He was able supported by Mitchell Owen, whose explosive cameo completely flipped the momentum, striking five sixes in a brutal assault that left the Thunder scrambling for answers. Even after a brief wobble, Nikhil Chaudhary and Matthew Wade ensured there were no late nerves, finishing the game in emphatic fashion with overs to spare.

For Sydney Thunder, Daniel Sam's was the standout with the ball, picking up three wickets, but on a night dominated by batters, the rest of the attack struggled to stem the flow of runs.
A remarkable chase, a statement win, and a reminder of how dangerous this Hurricanes batting unit can be when they get going. This contest will go down as one of the games of the season. 

17.5 Chris Green to Matthew Wade, FOUR! THE HURRICANES SEAL THE MOST COMFORTABLE 200+ CHASE! Full and sliding down leg, Wade gets down on his knee and sweeps it to the right of short fine-leg. Wes Agar gives a chase but he is unable to stop the ball from reaching the fence. What a chase from the Hurricanes who register a six-wicket win with 13 balls to spare.

17.2 Chris Green to Nikhil Chaudhary, SIX! Length delivery outside-off, Nikhil swings it cleanly over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Hurricanes only a boundary away from sealing the match!

16.6 Wes Agar to Matthew Wade, GREAT EFFORT FROM SAM KONSTAS! Short of a length at the body, Wade heaves it to the right of deep backward square-leg where Sam Konstas runs across and dives to almost pull off a stunning catch. He still got up, ran to his right and dived to stop the ball. Three runs taken. Boundary check here. The replays seem like Konstas might have made contact with the boundary rope. Yes, a boundary is signaled!

16.4 Wes Agar to Nikhil Chaudhary, short of a length with pace taken off, Nikhil runs down the track and looks to crack it over extra-cover but he gets through the shot too early. Nikhil is upset with himself.

16.3 Wes Agar to Nikhil Chaudhary, FOUR! Short and down leg, Nikhil comfortably pulls it to the left of short fine-leg for a boundary. Poor bowling from Wes!

16.1 Wes Agar to Nikhil Chaudhary, short of a length outside-off, Nikhil backs away and cracks it to short cover before taking off for a single. A direct-hit at the bowler's end from Nic Maddinson would have had it tight.
