#2 Watson makes a roaring return to form
The Thunder captain Shane Watson had a forgettable tournament with the bat till this game, as a result of which his team‘s results were getting affected. They’d won just one game out of 5 coming into this one and a return to form was much needed for the skipper. He started confidently, hitting his 6th ball for a massive six that went in the 2nd tier, and from then, never looked back.
Once set, he tore into the Hurricanes bowling, hitting sixes at will and smashed 19 runs off a Shaun Tait over, before finally getting dismissed for a stupendous 55 off just 31 balls with 5 sixes and 2 fours, leaving his team just 19 short of the target with 5 overs to spare.
His return to form with the bat after having bowled beautifully in the last game is a welcome sign for the Thunder.
