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.

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
