An inspired Mitchell Owen has produced the innings of his career, thrashing a mighty century to rout the Sydney Thunder and deliver Hobart Hurricanes a maiden Big Bash League title.
Owen struck 108 in 42 balls, including the competition's equal-fastest ever century on Monday night as the Hurricanes delighted the capacity crowd at Bellerive Oval.
Set 183 to win, Hobart reached the total with six overs to spare, with Matthew Wade (32 off 17) finishing off the run chase after Owen departed.
