In the recently concluded match between Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers, the David Warner-led side registered an emphatic win to close the gap with Sydney Sixers, who are the table-toppers in the ongoing edition. 

Notably, The Thunder were out of the game for most of the match but sealed the win in the last over, courtesy of Gujarat Titans' latest signing Sherfane Rutherford. 

Notably, the Scorchers, batting first, put 177/4 on the board. Meanwhile, the Thunder kept losing wickets at regular intervals at situation was such that the David Warner-led side required 17 to win off the final over. 

Eyes were on Sherfane Rutherford, who was the strike. On the first ball, he ran a double but then hit Andrew Tye for two boundaries. Rutherford's masterclass helped Thunder to get to a situation where 3 runs were required off the last ball. 

Notably, he also smashed the ball for a boundary to seal the win for Thunder. It was an emotional moment as even skipper David Warner was also pumped up on the sidelines. Warner was all animated and hugged his players for the epic win. Watch the reaction here. 

GT Buy Sherfane Rutherford For 2.6 Crores

Sherfane repaid the faith shown in him by Gujarat Titans at the mega-auction as he scored 39 (19), which featured five fours and a solitary six. Rutherford has been doing brilliantly for his nation and was recently nominated in ICC ODI player of the year award category.

Rutherford's addition is a boost to GT's middle-order woes and they would look for him to replicate a similar role of Kieron Pollard for MI or Andre Russell for KKR.
