Mitch Owen's record-breaking performance in the Big Bash League final propelled the Hobart Hurricanes to their first title. Owen's century off 42 balls earned him widespread praise and ignited discussions about his potential for a future World Cup berth.
A day before the Big Bash League started, Mitch Owen said he wasn’t sure where he’d be batting — or at all — for the Hobart Hurricanes this season. After a record-breaking knock to win the competition for his hometown side, Owen, also the top runscorer for the league, can start to lift his sights higher. The 23-year-old has been the revelation of the Big Bash League this term, bumped up the order and flourishing as an opener for the Hurricanes.
“He’s done it pretty consistently through the tournament ... some of his 30s and 40s that he’s got have actually won and set up games for the Hurricanes. “And then he ended up getting 100 in 30-odd balls and the game’s over.” Hobart teammate and 2021 T20 World Cup winner Matthew Wade agreed Owen “would be there or thereabouts” when it came to squad selection for the 2026 tournament. “He can be anything ... no stage really worries him too much. It was phenomenal,” he told AAP.
