Kieron Pollard outshone Chris Gayle in the battle of the big-hitters, striking a typically explosive half-century to power South Australia to a 46-run victory over Western Australia in the Twenty20 Big Bash last night.
Batting at number three, the Trinidad and Tobago right-hander hammered 55 from 26 balls with five fours and four sixes to help propel South Australia to an imposing 202 for eight off 20 overs, after they won the toss and batted first at the WACA.
