Hurricanes won by 8 wickets (with 4 balls remaining).

What an innings from Mitch Owen. His highest score in BBL today was 28. Hobart Hurricanes win by eight wickets in what was a pretty clinical performance. Shai Hope play his part in the chase, but it was largely a one man show. A day to remember for Owen. The game was set up by Hurricanes' bowling and fielder. They were superb at the death led by Nathan Ellis and Chris Jordan. Josh Inglis' run out was a key moment and Scorchers get any momentum in the closing overs. A terrific fightback from Hurricanes after being skittled against Renegades. They are on the board for the season. A few things for Scorchers to ponder.

Mitchell Owen hit an unbeaten 101 to lead the Hobart Hurricanes to an eight wicket win over the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League on Saturday.

The Hurricanes restricted the Scorchers to 155-6 from their 20 overs after skipper Nathan Ellis chose to bowl first after winning the toss at the Bellerive Oval.

Josh Inglis and captain Ashton Turner led the way for Perth with 49 and 39, respectively, while Keaton Jennings chipped in as well with 35 off 28 balls at the top of the order.

Pacer Riley Meredith took 3-27 off his four overs for Hobart.

In pursuit of 156 to win, Mitchell Owen and Caleb Jewell brought the score up to 32 before Jewell fell for seven in the fourth over, bringing Shai Hope to the crease to join Owen.

From there, the two produced a match-winning 101-run second winning partnership before Hope went for 38 off 35 balls in the 17th over, with the Hurricanes now needing just 23 off 20 balls.

In the end, the Hurricanes reached 156-2 with four balls remaining. Owen’s 101* came off 64 balls and included nine fours and five sixes.
