All the statistical highlights from Hobart Hurricanes’ 57-run win against the Sydney Thunder:

Thunder continue to lose in Hobart:

1-6 – Sydney Thunder now have lost six of the seven matches they played at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart; the most number of defeats for a visiting team at this venue in the Big Bash League. Thunder’s lone win at this venue came during the 2016-17 season by a margin of six wickets while chasing a target of 162. In overall, the Hurricanes won 8 out of the 12 matches they played against the Thunder.


A brilliant effort with the ball by Short:

5/21 – D’Arcy Short’s 5-wicket haul in this game is only the 2nd 5-fer recorded in the Big Bash League for the Hobart Hurricanes. During the 2016-17 season, Daniel Christian took 5/21 against Adelaide Strikers also in Hobart.

D’Arcy Short also became the first player to take a 5-wicket haul having opened the batting in the same match.


The worst middle-overs performance ever:

10 – Runs aggregated by Sydney Thunder’s No.5 or No.11 batsmen in this match; the fewest runs scored outside top 4 batters in a Big Bash League inning. The previous fewest runs made by the batsmen batting between No.5 and No.11 in a BBL inning were 18 runs by Perth Scorchers in 2011-12 against Melbourne Stars.


Sams equals BBL record:

24 – Daniel Sams now has picked up 24 wickets in the ongoing BBL season including the 4-wicket haul on Friday. These are the joint-most wickets by any player in a single edition of the Big Bash League. Sams is now levelled with Kane Richardson’s 24 wickets for Melbourne Renegades in the 2018-19 edition.


4/34 – The 4-wicket haul by Sams is only the 5th by any bowler in Big Bash League history for the Sydney Thunder. Fawad Ahmed’s 4/14 in the 2016-17 season against Sixers are the best bowling figures for the Thunder in the BBL and also the previous 4-fer in the competition for them.


Wade @ 1000 for Hurricanes:

1050 – Matthew Wade completed 1000 runs in the Big Bash League for the Hobart Hurricanes when he went past his individual score of 6 in this match. D’Arcy Short (1655), George Bailey (1546), Tim Paine (1119) and Ben McDermott (1104) are the other players with 1000+ BBL runs for the Hurricanes.


Hales @ 400:

402 – Runs Alex Hales has aggregated in this tournament; the 2nd player to score 400+ runs in a BBL season for the Sydney Thunder. Callum Ferguson collected 442 runs during the 2018-19 season across 14 matches.
