Mitchell Owen Hits Joint-Fastest Century in Big Bash League History

Mitchell Owen, who plays for the Hobart Hurricanes, did something amazing. Owen tied the record for the quickest 100 runs in the Major Bash League. Owen made those runs amazingly quick, using only 39 balls, when they played against the Sydney Thunder. An important game happened at the Bellerive Oval. Mitchell Owen, a 23 year old man, got to do this great thing during the final game of the BBL in the 2024-2025 season on a Monday.

Owen also got the fastest 50 runs in a BBL final because he did that in just 16 balls. That helped his team to try and win by getting 183 runs. Owen struck the ball with great force, with many doubles and important sixes, and teamed up with another player to add 109 runs for the first wicket, which was very good for his team. His team needed to begin well to attempt to win the game and he gave them just that.

By doing what Craig Simmons did once, back in 2014, Owen's name got written in the record books too. Because of what Mitchell did, everyone sees him as a really great young cricket player from Australia. His knock for playing incredibly well when everything is on the line in the final game, showed clearly for those watching his strong belief in his skills. That'll help him play on larger teams later on.  Owen was acknowledged out of necessity for how great he played, which was really key for the Hurricanes to try to succeed. Mitchell Owen just did something really great , Owen hit so many runs in the game that he helped his team, the Hobart Hurricanes, do extremely well in the BBL final.

The Melbourne Stars will play the Sydney Sixers at home. This will be the Stars' third match at this venue this season. The hosts, who won their last game here by chasing down 169 with 5 wickets in hand, will be confident and looking for their third consecutive win. The Sydney Sixers' last match against Hobart resulted in a massive batting collapse. Prior to this loss, they had been exceptional with the bat, having effectively chased down a 195-run target versus MLS at home. The hosts rely on their lower and middle-order batters because the top order has been inconsistent. Marcus Stoinis, who batted at number five in the previous two successful run chases, stood out.

• Waqar Salamkheil –  Even though Waqar Salamkheil did not have a great start to the campaign, the last match took 2 crucial wickets for 22 runs.

Top Picks – Sydney Thunder

• David Warner – The pressure would be on David Warner if the Sydney Thunders look to improve their performance this season. Despite not playing much cricket, Warner remains one of the most lethal T20 batters.
• Daniel Sams –  Daniel Sams was the lone bright spot in the Sydney Thunders' disappointing season last year. With 12 wickets, he was his team's leading wicket-taker.

ST vs HH Probable Winners:

Last season, the Sydney Thunder struggled to get started, winning only one game and completing eighth on the table. They encountered the Hobart Hurricanes multiple times and were outplayed both times, with Adelaide completing the double over them. In fact, the Thunder have not defeated the Hurricanes over their last five meetings. In contrast, the Hobart Hurricanes enjoyed a slow start this year but eventually found their groove, winning four straight games to secure a playoff spot. Considering the team combination, Hobart Hurricanes is expected to win this match.

Max Bryant Stuns BBL with Jaw-Dropping 106m Six!

The Major Bash League had a really anomalous thing happen when a player, Max Bryant, smacked the ball extremely far, basically a crazy 106 meters! It was extremely impressive. Bryant, he's a major hitter, demonstrated again how he can clearly enjoy making bowlers look silly and give the crowd something anomalous to see. This strikingly large hit went extremely deep, all the way into the seating, essentially woah!

It was the one thing everyone discussed after the game, clearly the shot for the league. Everyone, including people discussing the game, wouldn't shut up about it. They kept calling it an absurd shot, probably the largest lately in the entire BBL. This great hit did some things for his team. It started them all. It essentially made the entire rest of the BBL seem more exciting too

This moment reminded everyone how Bryant is a fun person to watch, and how he can, just, move it ahead for his team, out of nowhere. The BBL, it keeps having wonderful cricket happen, such as really important and wow, type moments. Max Bryant's 106-meter six? It will probably be remembered for the season, being one of the amazing parts of the entire thing.

It really kept everyone energized and made the players see how far they can hit the ball too. Fans are excited and ready to see what Bryant does next! Today, everyone has a really, extremely long hit of his stuck in their heads and remembers that time very well because the shot was something amazing and a bit of innovation or disruptive.

AS vs HH Match Preview

Ahead of Saturday's match, their are only two points separating Perth Scorchers in third spot and Adelaide Strikers in seventh, so while Hobart Hurricanes have a three-point advantage in the table, the roles could easily be reversed quickly! The Hobart Hurricanes have an advantage at home in this game at the Bellerive Oval, but they are the only team to have won a game at home since the beginning of 2025, with the other three won by visitors and one ending in a no-result. The no-result meant that table tops Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat did not even get to the toss in Coffs Harbour, but it has caused the table to close even more, as the Sixers have now lost their last two games.
