David Warner continues his Sublime form

David Warner is coming off two good outings against South Africa in the recently concluded 5-match series. Warner started off the series with a duck but made a tremendous comeback in the second match of the series. In Bloemfontein, Warner showcased his prowess by scoring a century in just 87 balls. His aggressive innings of 106 runs off 93 balls, which included 12 boundaries and three sixes, played a pivotal role in Australia’s crushing 123-run victory over South Africa.
