    What's the story

    Matthew Short scored a 59-ball 100* as Adelaide Strikers pulled off the highest-ever run-chase in Big Bash League (BBL) history.

    Batting first, Hobart Hurricanes posted a mammoth 229/4 in 20 overs. Englishman Zak Crawley scored 54*.

    In response, the Strikers won by seven scalps, getting 230/3 in 19.3 overs. Barring Short, veteran Chris Lynn scored a 29-ball 64.

    Here's more.

    Chase

    Record for Strikers as they upsurp Hurricane

    Strikers have now registered the greatest-ever chase in the competition, bettering the previous record set by Hurricanes, who chased down Melbourne Renegades' 224/4 off the final ball in January 2017 (223/8).

    Before that, the Hurricanes themselves held the record of chasing Brisbane Heat's 209/3, getting to 210/3 in 19.2 overs back in December 2013.

    Records

    Strikers post their best score in BBL history

    The strikers posted their best score in BBL history (230/3). It's also the 3rd-highest score ever in the tournament's history behind Melbourne Stars' 272/2 versus Hurricanes in January 2022 and Sydney thunder's 232/5 versus Sydney Sixers in January 2021.

    Meanwhile, Hurricanes also posted their best total in the BBL, bettering the 223/8 in January 2017.

    How did the match pan out?

    Fifties from Ben McDermott (57) and Caleb Jewel (54) had Hurricanes off to a perfect start. From 88/0, the side was reduced to 140/4. Crawley and big-hitter Tim David (39*) helped the team post 229/4.

    Rashid Khan (0/25) was excellent for the Strikers. Short then took the game away with a solid ton.

    Lynn made his presence felt as well.
