Rutherford entered the match in a challenging situation, with the Thunder needing nearly 11 runs per over. He played a pivotal role, scoring 39 runs off just 19 balls, including a crucial 16 runs in the final over bowled by Andrew Tye. The Thunder's batting lineup was further tested as they began their innings without both Bancroft and Sams, who were sidelined due to their injuries.

He emphasized the importance of rallying together for their injured teammates and praised the team's fighting spirit. The Thunder's ability to regroup and secure the win was a testament to their character and determination.

The victory propelled the Thunder to second place in the standings, showcasing their depth and resilience as they prepare for their next match against the Brisbane Heat. The incident served as a reminder of the challenges athletes face, but also highlighted the strong camaraderie within the team.
