Owen's century, the joint-fastest in BBL history and the quickest ever in a Final, propelled the Hurricanes to a seven-wicket victory, securing the 2024/25 BBL title with the target achieved in just 14 overs.

Owen began his innings in explosive fashion, hitting two fours and a six in the opening over, followed by another six and a four in the second. His aggressive start saw the Hurricanes surpass the 50-run mark in just three overs, with Owen smashing three sixes in the third over alone.

In the fourth over, Owen raced to his half-century off just 16 balls, setting a new record for the fastest fifty in a BBL Final, the third-fastest in the tournament's history, and the quickest ever by a Hurricanes batter.

Hobart's opening duo of Owen and Caleb Jewell amassed 98 runs in the Powerplay, breaking the record for the highest opening partnership in a BBL Final, previously set by David Warner and Jason Sangha earlier in the same match. Owen contributed a staggering 76 runs to the partnership, featuring eight sixes and five fours.

The 23-year-old reached his century in the 10th over, becoming only the second player to score a ton in a BBL Final after Jake Weatherald’s feat in 2015.

His 39-ball hundred set a new benchmark for the fastest century in a Final. Owen eventually departed for 108 off 42 balls, having hit 11 sixes—the joint second-highest in a BBL match and the most in a Final.

Earlier, the Hurricanes won the toss and chose to field. Sydney Thunder’s openers built a strong foundation with a 97-run stand, putting Hobart on the back foot.
