short, cracked over the off side...and that's the victory!
Scorchers vs Hurricanes, 7th Match at Hobart, BBL, Dec 21 2024 - Match Result
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. We are now moving straight into coverage of the Sydney Smash between Thunder and Sixers. Sam Konstas in action. For now, from Gnasher and Alex, thanks for following this one with us.
he's done it! Creamed through the off side. A 63-ball hundred. What an innings
Free hit for Owen on 96
oh, huge full toss! McDermott manages to pull it to deep square. It's a no ball
7 off 6 needed. And Owen has lost the strike. McDermott is 4 from 8. Morris to bowl.
a yorker at off stump, driven down to long-off. Super effort from Richardson
straight full toss, finds midwicket as the bat twists in his hand
steps across the crease, Richardson pushes it towards leg stump, deflects out of Inglis' reach towards fine leg. Given runs
top yorker, superbly bowled. McDermott can only jab it out
Long chat between Richardson and Turner
excellent yorker, manages to get it away through midwicket
John: "McDermott's a great batter but this was perfect for tim david. Hits from ball 1"
hammered! That made a great sound off the bat. In the slot outside off, Owen moves across the stumps and dispatches it straight down the ground
wide outside off, and called...was outside the marker
16 off 12. Hurricanes haven't quite iced this yet. Richardson to bowl
outside off, driven back past the bowler to long-off
very full, dug out through the on side, and the lack of pace on it allows them back for a second. Owen into the 90s
full at the toes, works it wide of midwicket into the deep
steps away outside leg, drives to cover
full toss, high in the air, short of long-on! Owen gets away with mistiming this as he aimed towards deep midwicket
thumped straight down the ground, long-on can't stop the second
Connolly back
Dimuth: "Just saw a stat that the Canes's last win against the Scorchers were back in 2013 ?!? don't they play each other twice every season! incredible stat" Refers to their record against them in Hobart. It's not always been a full home-and-away season, and it's not currently
short of a length, takes a thick outside edge to short third. Four dots (and a wicket) to end that over
round the wicket, full and straight, pushed to mid-off
That should prove a matchwinning stand, but we've seen stranger things before
taken at mid-off! Aims to clear the off side, looking to send a back-of-a-length ball over the infield, Turner gets around to it. Came from high up on the bat
over the wicket, a yorker outside off, played off the toe end
