The record
Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League
13 seasons of near-misses, then 2024-25. Hobart had reached finals before without lifting anything, and the 2024-25 title finally squared a ledger that reads 74 wins and 74 losses from 150 matches — the most evenly balanced record of the eight clubs. Tasmania has produced most of the runs itself: BR McDermott has 2,743 for the club and MS Wade owns their highest individual score of 130.
Bellerive Oval is one of the smallest grounds on the circuit and the Hurricanes have used it properly: 38 wins from 62 on the eastern shore, with a few matches taken north to Launceston. RP Meredith leads the wicket takers with 103, mostly with the hard lengths that suit Bellerive’s bounce. The opponent they see most is Adelaide Strikers, who hold a 13-10 edge; against Brisbane Heat it goes the other way, 14-8.
