Sydney Sixers player Jack Edwards has taken one of the best catches this summer, but it was in a losing effort as the Hobart Hurricanes earned the right to host the Big Bash League grand final.

The Hobart Hurricanes have made it to the Big Bash League (BBL) final for the first time in seven years. The team's win was largely due to Riley Meredith's brilliant opening spell, which proved vital in keeping the Sydney Sixers at bay from a late rally.

Only Lance Morris can challenge Meredith's status as the fastest bowler in Australia. After having a breather in the regular-season finale against Melbourne Stars, a refreshed Meredith was fired-up and bowled the fieriest spell of the season.
