Warner hits better form

FORMER Australia vice-captain David Warner led from the front as his Winnipeg Hawks team eased to an eight-wicket win against Edmonton Royals at the Global T20 Canada tournament.

Chasing a target of 142, Warner made 42 off 35 balls to set the Hawks on the road to a second-round victory yesterday.

The Hawks captain shared an opening stand of 90 in 11.4 overs with Lendl Simmons before the West Indian had to retire hurt on 38.
