Veteran Dan Christian hit the second fastest half-century in Big Bash League history and nabbed a breakthrough with the ball as the Sydney Sixers claimed a 38-run win over the Adelaide Strikers.
The all-rounder’s brutal 50, which included five sixes, came off just 15 deliveries as the Sixers posted 177-5 at Hobart’s Blundstone Arena on Sunday night.
He returned to pick up Phil Salt with his third ball and nip a promising Strikers’ start in the bud.
Christian came to the crease with the Sixers 58-3 at the start of the 12th over after they struggled early on a nippy pitch.
