The Jarryd Biviano show headed west on Saturday to help Sutherland to their first win of the NSW Premier Cricket season.
The opener got out in the final over but not before he scored 172 off 173 balls to help the Sharks reach 3-285 at Owen Earle Oval. His knock included 15 boundaries and two sixes as he combined with skipper Chris Williams (52) for a 180-run opening stand.
In reply, the Hawkesbury were never in the hunt and were bowled out for 170 to give the Sharks a bonus-point win.
Andrew Ritchie (3-39) and Justin Green (3-46) were the pick of the bowlers for the visitors.
Unfortunately, Biviano and the Sharks had a let down on Sunday in the opening round of the Twenty20 Cup. Biviano was out for a duck as the Sharks lost by seven-wickets to Easts. Callum Weatherall (87) and Pushpinder Jassal (2-20) were the Sharks' best.
This Saturday, the Sharks host Mosman at Glenn McGrath Oval.
