Hurricanes vs Thunder, 40th Match at Melbourne, BBL, Jan 10 2022 - Match Result

that's the winning runs from Sangha! Goes back in the crease and chops that wide of backward point for four, that's the game

too full outside off, drives it straight to point

ends the over with a bouncer which Hales ducks under

someone stop him! Or maybe not. Dances down the ground, and absolutely smacks that over mid-on with a pull right from the middle of the bat

140.5kmh, that's a "I'm gonna take my eyes off the ball and still pull you for four!" The quick bouncer was headed for Hales' head, he turned his eyes towards the pitch instead of the ball and got his execution of the pull so perfect that it went for four

slower ball turns out to be a wide down the leg side

backs away for the pull but this time Meredith beats him, the ball goes between him and the stumps

four more>! Short ball, clears his front leg and absolutely hammers that pull wide of mid-on in the gap

quick but short and down leg, and Hales lifts his front leg to transfer his weight on the back foot and swipes it fine on the leg side with a swat-pull

steers it successfully this time towards point as Rogers eyes another yorker

another four, but this time because of sheer luck. Just short of yorker length outside off, Hales wants to steer it into the off side but only manages a thick edge that rolls away fine on the leg side for another boundary

the yorker goes wrong but Hales' shot doesn't! Low on the pads and he stands tall before flicking it away right from the middle of the bat

stays back for the short ball and wants to ramp but misses it

outside off, taps it into the covers for one more

not so full but it's straight enough and Hales swings it down the ground, just over the bowler's head. And his fifty comes up now, maybe there was some error earlier

finally outside off to end the over, and Hales taps it towards the covers

88kmh, short and flat on leg, pushes it down to long-on again

shorter and straighter on the stumps, goes back and punches it down to long-on

on the pads again, helps it to midwicket for one

outside leg again, nudges it tot he square leg region for two quick runs again
