Hyderabad: Scoreboard after Hobart Hurricanes defeated Cape Cobras by 6 wickets in the sixth match of 2014 CLT20 played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad on Sunday.
Chasing a stiff target of 184, Aiden Blizzard swept the Cobras away with his 48-ball-78 blitzkrieg that had four boundaries and five huge sixes as the Aussie outfit won the contest with an over to spare.
Dunk scored his 50 off 30 balls and was finally holed out in the deep off the bowling of Sybrand Engelbrecht, having hit 10 fours in his innings.
Shoaib Malik (8) played an atrocious hoick to be caught at short third-man while Travis Birt (7) also didn't last long.
However at 121 for four in the 15th over, Blizzard, took it upon himself to see Hurricanes survive in the tournament.
