Warner downs Smith in Canada T20

Suspended pair fail to make an impact with the bat in the T20 blockbuster

Banned Australian duo David Warner and Steve Smith were dismissed cheaply in their highly anticipated match-up at the Global T20 Canada.

In what was billed as one of the clash of the tournament, Warner's Winnipeg Hawks secured a 56-run win over Smith's Toronto Nationals on Monday at the Maple Leaf Cricket Club, north of Toronto.

With both Smith and Warner serving a 12-month ban by Cricket Australia from international and Australian domestic cricket for ball tampering, former Test skipper Smith and his ex-deputy are headline acts at the fledgling league in Toronto.

But with Winnipeg batting first, opener Warner faced just two balls for one run before he was run out by Toronto's Anton Devcich, from New Zealand.

Warner also contributed just one run for Winnipeg in his opening match on Friday, while on Sunday and he faced just six balls for four runs as Winnipeg lost to Vancouver Knights by six wickets.

The Hawks took advantage of a rare bowling stint from Smith during their 164-run innings, with Dwayne Bravo belting Smith for four sixes in one over.

Hawks captain Bravo was stoic on a dodgy pitch with 41 runs, but teammate Lendl Simmons led the way with 44.

While Smith has enjoyed more success at the crease than Warner, scoring 71 runs across his first two matches, the world's top-ranked Test batsman was dismissed on three when he was caught by Winnipeg's David Miller.
