Big Bash League: David Warner’s blistering innings helped the Sydney Thunder register a solid eight-run victory over the Melbourne Renegades in a Big Bash League (BBL) match at the Sydney Showground Stadium here on Monday.

The Renegades opted to bowl first in the 16th BBL game of the season and were met by an in-form David Warner who scored 86 runs in 57 deliveries, an innings laced with 10 boundaries and two sixes, to power his side to 156/4. This was Warner’s highest score in the league in 13 years, ever since his century in the second-ever game in the tournament in 2011-12.

Besides Warner’s heavy hitting, the highlight of the first innings was Will Sutherland’s flying catch of Sam Billings in the 14th over which was described as “a top-3 catch in BBL history” by Brett Lee on Fox Cricket.
