Overview
- Hobart sent Sydney in and Will Prestwidge struck with the first two balls to remove Matthew Gilkes and Sam Konstas before his hat-trick delivery slid down the leg side.
- Warner launched nine sixes and 11 fours and took 50 off his last 15 balls to power a late surge at Engie Stadium.
- Sam Billings added 20 off 24 and Nic Maddinson made 30 off 26 before retiring late, with Daniel Sams finishing 14 not out from six.
- Prestwidge returned 2-19 from two overs, Nathan Ellis took 1-46 from four and conceded 30 in the final over after he and Chris Jordan had kept the power surge to 11 runs.
- The knock was Warner’s second BBL century and his first since December 2011, setting the Thunder’s all-time individual best as they sought to revive a 1-4 season against a 4-2 Hurricanes side.
