Haddin looks for further improvement after Yorkshire capitulation – Cricket News Update
After registering a second convincing win in the ongoing Champions League T20, Sydney Sixers’ skipper Brad Haddin, wants his side to go from strength to strength in their remaining matches.
The Big Bash champions thumped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 by a comprehensive 8-wicket margin, reaching the target with 67 balls to spare. The smashing win has not only placed them at the top of Group B, but further enhanced their net run-rate, which currently stands at +3.140.
The victory was built on strong bowling contributions from the young pace trio of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 T20 runners-up faltered badly in pursuit of a defendable total, succumbing on an embarrasing 96, despite being 30 for no loss at one stage.
Only two batters went beyond 20, while the rest failed to deal with a varying Sixers’ bowling attack. Starc offered swing and control, while the other two posed threat due to their extra pace. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moises-Henriques-c2021 further chipped in with two and one scalp respectively.
The chase was swift despite http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Lumb-c1981 took control to smash 16 boundaries between themselves to bring the side a whisker away from the winning total. The former departed after making a quick-fire 41, but Lumb remained unbeaten on 43 as the victory target was achieved in 8.5 overs.
Haddin was further awarded the Player of the Match accolade, and the wicket-keeper batsman praised the work ethics of his young pacers, before adding that the team will look for further improvement in their remaining campaign.
"We had a few things we needed to work on after the first game," says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170. "The best thing about the three fast bowlers was they bowled differently, presenting different challenges to the batsmen. I am pretty lucky they are all looking to have a go. Still got to get better and better as the tournament goes on."
Next up for the Sydney Sixers will be a clash against the high-flying Highveld http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808, at Cape Town on October 18.
