Mitchell Owen, the talented 23-year-old from the Hobart Hurricanes, made history by becoming the first player to score a century in the BBL 2024/25 season. After a quiet start to his campaign with just 10 runs in the opening match against the Melbourne Renegades, Owen bounced back in style in his second game.
Facing the Perth Scorchers, known for their strong bowling attack, Owen played a phenomenal knock. He smashed an unbeaten 101 runs off just 64 balls, hitting nine boundaries and five huge sixes. His performance turned heads as he displayed incredible timing and shot selection throughout his innings.
Before this match, Owen’s highest T20 score was just 28 runs. To score a century against a team like the Scorchers, with one of the best bowling lineups in the tournament, was a remarkable achievement. His fearless batting and powerful shots kept the Scorchers’ bowlers under pressure.
Owen’s century not only helped his team chase down the target with ease but also announced him as a player to watch in the ongoing season. The Hurricanes will be hoping for more such performances from their young star in the matches ahead.
