Nathan Ellis' hat trick, Tim David's sixth Thunder third straight 

The Hobart Hurricanes stay alive and fly past the Thunder for fifth in the table 

 

Tailor Nathan Ellis delivered a hat-trick before Tim David revived the Hobart Hurricanes to secure a crucial five-wicket victory happened in Sunvalley over the Sydney Thunder at Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

After opting to kill in sunny conditions, the Thunder did not recover from David Warner's dismissal for a duck in the gap. Quicks Ellis and Riley Meredith combined for six wickets, while freshman left-arm spinner Patrick Dooley claimed three wickets to bowl out the Thunder for a paltry 135.

The Hurricanes continued their impressive run in the chase, with David smashing 76 off 41 balls to complete his 17th six of the tournament. The result lifted the Hurricanes past the fifth-place Thunder, who have lost three in a row.

 

Fiery Ellis and Meredith cross Thunder 

There has obviously been a lot of excitement about Warner's return to the BBL after eight years. He returned against the Perth Scorchers on Friday and showed a bit of his attacking best before falling on 19.

On what looked like a bowling alley, Warner loved the second ball when he was bowled by a gold from Meredith's yorker. Warner was completely beaten by pace in one of the best deliveries of this BBL season. Meredith, who rivals Lance Morris as Australia's fastest rider, reached a speed of about 150km/h in a blazing fire. He was not done with his pace which got the benefit of Sam Whiteman as the Thunder quickly fell to 24 for 4.

Ellis returned in the 15th over and quickly ended Ollie Davies' rallying innings. In the next delivery, he beat Nathan McAndrew to claim a hat-trick after dismissing Matthew Gilkes at first to finish fourth.

Ellis celebrated well and apparently had no idea he had joined Xavier Doherty as the only other Hurricanes player to win a hat-trick. Ellis and Meredith, who both played international 피나클 cricket briefly, recalled their skills to add to Australia's shyness of pace options.

 

In-style Davies plays alone 

The sky is hot or cold at this time. They endured the humiliation of being kicked out for 15 games against the Adelaide Strikers but also achieved several impressive victories, including one against the Scorchers in Perth.

On Sunday, the Thunder couldn't get into the Hurricanes offense without the 22-year-old Davies, who briefly saved the Thunder with a modest 45-for-38. He started smartly with the ball before showing his class with a six cover extra off Tom Andrews' left-hander. But Davies narrowly missed out on what would have been a fourth-quarter lead as the Thunder fell again. Arrivals from Ben Cutting and captain Chris Green helped the Thunder put together a competitive total.

 

David drove out the storm in the time of trouble 

The Hurricanes got off to a shaky start and were down 20 for 3 in the third. It could have been worse and Wade converted at 3 when Davies stopped an easy chance at McAndrew's point.

Wade, who returned after his layoff, smashed a boundary in the next delivery and joined in a 79-run partnership with David that defied the Hurricanes' poor form. David got off to a slow start before running into the seventh and sixth leg of Cutting's leg. In terms of deliveries, including spinner Usman Qadir's straight six, David put the Hurricanes' chase in the right direction. He reached his second BBL half-century and settled down in the finals as the Hurricanes maintained their unbeaten home record.

 

A war of words breaks out between groups 

During the bar with David breaking between the yellow spots, a war of words broke out between the runners Wade and Green. It is unclear what it was, but it led to a fight between Wade and Warner.

Warner pushed for Wade even though it could be a tie between Australia's two long-time teammates. After the game, Wade and Green had a brief conversation in better spirits and then parted ways, leaving Wade to have a pleasant conversation with Warner... GET MORE INFO 

The all-rounder Daniel Sams did his best to keep the Thunder in the game with a variety of wits to take four wickets including Wade and Asif Ali at the back but it wasn't enough. How Bangladesh Women improved their chances against Australia in the U-19 World Cup 

 

Afia Prottasha and Shorna Akter give the score and things change at home

Rhys McKenna, Australia's captain and fast bowler, bowled a full single and got out. Shorna Akter gets on the front foot, stretches and hits it to deep midwicket for a six. A few balls later, he dropped a full one off his pads to the fine leg strings as Bangladesh pulled off a stunning upset against Australia to start the year's Under-19 World Cup campaign.

It is not like many Bangladeshi women's sections in the past. Strength and overall commitment are the key words as they prepare for the tournament under the guidance of head coach Dipu Roy Chowdhury. But that's only half. They also select the teams in such a way that about 60% of them remain qualified to enter the next World Cup. This is how they strive to build a strong and experienced women's cricket 맥스벳 team going forward. This is how they have already got hitters in different genres like Afia Prottasha, Dilara Akter, Shorna Akter, and Disha Biswas.

Prottasha, in particular, is refreshing to see above the system. What if five of the Australians, including McKenna, had the experience of playing in a high-level competition like the Women's Big Bash League? Prottasha clears his front leg and throws McKenna over the tall fence to clear the tag. He trapped Milly Illingworth - who played like former Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait - at halfway for a four-and-one rebound.

Prottasha's 22-ball four and two sixes - the second against Amy Smith - set Bangladesh ahead in their chase of 131 points. Chowdhury told ESPNcricinfo, "He's a player for us and we set him up like that."

Biswas, a captain, hails from Magura, a neighbor of his idol Shakib Al Hasan. His dream is to win the tournament like the Under-19s did in 2020.

 

"We are not happy to win the game," Biswas said after the game, "but we are looking for improvement every day. The turn is Dola apu [Dilara] running a nice circle. The other hitters gave great support... Shorna, Prottasha and Sumaiya did well." 

 

Those who follow the Bangladesh women's national team are aware of the bright opportunities in the organization. On a crucial day in Benoni, Biswas and his young army gave hope that things would change.
