Want to know who’s in and out of form? Honeyball has done the hard work for you, recalling all the best and worst BBL-contracted performers from the 2025 Major Cricket League.
Mitch Owen’s star continued to rise in the USA in June and July, winning the Player of the Series and leading Washington Freedom to the final which they lost to MI New York. Unlike the BBL Final, Owen was dismissed for a golden duck in the decider.
Owen finished with the ninth most runs (313) with the fourth best strike rate (194.4) opening the batting. He also bowled 30 overs in 12 games, taking 14 wickets at 19.85 to cap a stellar tournament.
Adelaide’s Matt Short finished fourth for run scorers with 360 from 8 knocks at 45 and a 164 strike rate, plus wickets with the ball. Scorchers opener Finn Allen was seventh for runs with 333 from 9 knocks but that included an incredible 151 from 51 balls, where he was dismissed by Owen. Allen did record an MLC-best strike rate of 225.
Renegades import Hassan Khan was impressive with 225 runs with the MLC’s fifth best strike rate of 187.5 for San Francisco in his middle-order role. He also took 12 wickets with the ball.
Heat paceman Xavier Bartlett led the league for wickets (18), with Stars import Haris Rauf second (17) and Sixers all-rounder Jack Edwards equal fifth (14). Thunder recruit Lockie Ferguson only played 4 games but finished with the best economy rate.
Glenn Maxwell scored a century but otherwise finished with 252 runs from 10 knocks at 31.5 with a 175 strike rate, along with 10 wickets with an economy rate of 8.36.
