The BBL has, through the years, shown some great performances from the batters who dominated the tournament from the very beginning by playing some great innings which not only added to the league’s prestige but also glorified one of the oldest leagues in the world.
Nonetheless, there have been rare occurrences when the batsmen simply slaughtered the bowlers and went on to express themselves in such a way that not only the fans but the cricket critics also changed their minds about the T20 format.
As the BBL 2025–26 season approaches, the audience will get inured to even more adventurous batters and heavy hitters. And this is the case with the developing T20.
This Article Will Delve Into The Fastest 100 Scorers in The Big Bash League.
1. Craig Simmons (39 balls)
Craig Simmons’ 39-ball hundred is the quickest century ever made in the history of the Big Bash League.

2. Mitchell Owen (39 balls)
In the 2024/25 BBL season, Mitchell Owen made a score of 39 runs at the expense of 39 balls against the Sydney Thunder. He was the one hitting 11 sixes and having a strike rate of 257.14.
This player is being projected as one of the future members of Australia’s white-ball team. His ability to hit quickly is helping him achieve high scores very easily. The Hurricanes completed the task of scoring 183 runs in just 14.1 overs and leading by Owen’s fireworks they grasped the victory comfortably.
3. Glenn Maxwell (64 balls)
Glenn Maxwell, the guy the cricket world knows as the Big Show, just went nuts, hitting an absolute belter of an innings – 154 off just 64 balls against the Hobart Hurricanes in BBL 2021/22 – no boundaries what-so-ever
The right-hander just tore the opposing team to shreds right from the get go. Every single bowler they threw at him got treated like they owed him money – the ball was flying to the boundaries left right & centre, instead of just rolling on the deck.
He clocked up 22 boundaries and four sixes in a display that left the Melbourne Stars in a fantastic position – they ended up with the highest score in BBL history, 273 for after their opener got going. And they took home the win, beating their opponents by a whopping 106 runs
4. Josh Brown (57 balls)
Josh Brown, the guy they call the power hitter, just tore it up against the Adelaide Strikers – scoring a century in a mere 41 deliveries and leading the Brisbane Heat to a 54-run win in no time
That 140 runs from 57 balls in the 2023/24 BBL season was something else – 12 sixes – thats just insane. Still, it’s an innings that will go down as one of the most spectacular & high-scoring performances in BBL history.
5. Luke Wright (44 balls)
Luke Wright, the England all-rounder, showed the world what he was made of back in the 2011/12 BBL season when he smashed a century off just 44 balls against the Hobart Hurricanes. That got him the record for the fifth-fastest hundred in BBL history.
Wright was opening the batting for Melbourne Stars and his stand-out innings saw them get to 203 for 3 wickets and take the game home for the Stars by a 19-run margin
