Ben McDermott added another feather to his cap by becoming the highest run-scorer for Hobart Hurricanes in T20 cricket. The star batter reached this milestone during the Qualifier match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 against Sydney Sixers at Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
In the crucial match, McDermott scored 42 runs off 31 balls, hitting four boundaries and one six. His steady knock came at an important time when the Hurricanes were trying to build momentum in the middle overs. His efforts helped the team post a competitive total of 173/7.
Record-Breaking Achievement for Ben McDermott
With this performance, McDermott surpassed D’Arcy Short’s tally of 2706 runs to become the leading run-scorer for the Hurricanes. He has now accumulated 2725 runs in 98 matches for the franchise.
Here’s the updated list of most runs for Hobart Hurricanes in T20s:
