If that's a sign of things to come, get your seatbelts out. Thunder's initial decision to bowl had almost backfired, given they had ruthlessly conceded 55 in the powerplay. But spin hauled them back into the game,
allowing Thunder to restrict the target to 150 despite Billing's cameo towards the end. Now chasing, Watson looked like their only hope. While fellow teammates struggled to ascertain the pace in this pitch, Watson was into his elements, cutting and pulling en route to a 46-ball 77. His wicket led to a slight stutter but his onslaught had set his side up. And they did get home. They had to.
