Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams collide during catch attemptThunder earn last-ball victory over the Scorchers in Perth
Sydney Thunder duo Daniel Sams and Cameron Bancroft have been taken to hospital following a sickening clash of heads during their team’s pulsating four-wicket, final-ball victory over the Perth Scorchers.
Scorchers opener Finn Allen cracked 68 off 31 balls and Cooper Connolly chipped in with an unbeaten 43 as the hosts made 177-4 in front of 46,471 fans at Optus Stadium on Friday night. In reply, David Warner (49 off 33 balls) set the foundations for the Thunder, but their victory hopes looked bleak needing 21 runs off the last seven balls.
