Still hurting from the way he was dumped by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second leg of the IPL, David Warner showed off his class, smashing a whirlwind 65 off 42 balls, studded with 10 sweetly-timed boundaries, to lead Australia to a facile seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their second game of the T20 World Cup at Dubai on Thursday.
Dropped by the Sunrisers after just two games in the second game of the IPL, Warner who looked to be getting back into touch during his brief 13-run stay in the first game against South Africa- roared back to form to help Australia coast to the 155-run target set by Sri Lanka. With his opening partner, skipper Aaron Finch (37 off 23, 5x4, 2x6) too firing away in characteristic fashion, Warner laid the foundation for the Aussies before Steve Smith (28 not off 26 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (16 not out off 7 balls) took them home with three overs to spare in a one-sided contest.
