Jake Weatherald's century (115) was the highest individual score ever made in a BBL final, and his innings anchored Strikers' formidable 202/2. Hurricanes, chasing 203, could only manage 177/5 — unable to match the Strikers' bat and ball combination throughout the night. D'Arcy Short was named Player of the Tournament for his outstanding season-long performances for the Hurricanes, even though his team finished as runners-up.
