Unheralded youngster Daniel Hughes played a starring role as Sydney Sixers won the local derby against Sydney Thunder at ANZ Stadium on Sunday night.
T20 - ANZ Stadium
30 December 2012 - Day 1, Session 2
Sixers 1st Innings
| D. Hughes | 51 | 36 | 4 | 2 | 141.67 |
| B. Lee | 12 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 200 |
| S. Coyte | 4 | 0 | 26 | 0 | 6.50 |
The Sixers were in big trouble at 5-89 in the 15th over in their chase of the Thunder's 6-132, but Hughes showed maturity beyond his years to guide his team to victory with a classy 51 off 36 balls.
Earlier, a couple of the Sixers' other lesser-known players, Luke Feldman and Josh Lalor did the damage with the ball, removing Matt Prior and Chris Gayle respectively during the Thunder's innings.
While Gayle failed yet again, Usman Khawaja gave a subtle reminder to Australia's selectors of his immense talent by smashing 66 runs off 47 balls.
Khawaja came to the crease with his team in trouble at 2-18, and could only watch on as they were reduced to 5-56 in the 12th over.
But he combined well with Simon Keen and Scott Coyte to smash more than 50 runs off the final five overs of the Thunder's innings and help the home side post a competitive total of 6-132.
Khawaja will switch back into Test cricket mode after Sunday night's game, with many tipping him to return to Australia's XI in the New Year's Test.
With Shane Watson out injured, Khawaja's only competition for a starting spot comes from uncapped all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.
