The Sydney Thunder opened the Batting on Monday evening and placed what they thought was a competitive total of 182 on a solid battlefield.

Captain David Warner I have the Thunder a strong start of a start of half a century with 48 out of 32 balls. With a total of 200 probably out, Riley Meredith and Nathan Ellis produced their best bowling to stop the innings.

Ellis removed two in successive balls with the score on 0-97, before Meredith also succeeded in putting himself on a hat trick. While the Hobart Hurricanes would have been filled with confidence after returning the Thunder back to 182 in Ninja Stadium, no one saw what was coming.

The second highest run scorer of the BBL came in the fold with Owen on average 38.50 with 308 for the tournament. And the 23-year-old perhaps produced the competitions that the biggest ever was right with the fastest century ever with 104 out of 39 balls.
