The Big Bash League, or the BBL as it’s also called, was founded in 2011 which makes it to a league with a relatively short history. Its precursor, the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, had been running since 2005 but was replaced in an effort to modernize the domestic cricket league. The Big Bash League continued being sponsored by KFC, making them the one and only main sponsor since the league’s inception.
Together with the Indian Premier League, which is the biggest cricket league in India, the Big Bash League is the most popular cricket league in the world. Both the IPL and the BBL are among the sports leagues with the highest average attendance.
The BBL consist of eight teams as of the 2020 season, but discussions are ongoing to decide on the idea of expanding the league and potentially include a team from New Zeeland. So far, the proposed expansion teams haven’t lived up to the Big Bash League standards when it comes to cricket facilities but with a growing interest for the league, both from fans and investors, this should be an issue easy to overcome.
Even if the Twenty20 format is one of the most common formats of cricket there’re no continental tournaments that the BBL teams can qualify to. Back in 2014 it was decided to scrap the Champions League Twenty20 and since then no tournament has been created as a replacement.
Up until 2011 the Twenty20 top division in Australia had consisted of six teams but as the Big Bash League was founded the number of teams changed to eight. The teams come from six different cities, Melbourne and Sydney have two teams each. The format of the regular season has been varying somewhat throughout the years but as from the 2018/19 season all teams play each other twice, one time at home and one time away. The Big Bash League season is normally running from December until February.
When all games are played in the regular season the best teams advance to the final series. The final series are played in a knock-out format with the following structure:
The Eliminator – 4th placed team vs 5th placed team
The Qualifier – 1st placed team vs 2nd placed team
The Knock-Out – 3rd placed team vs Winner of The Eliminator
The Challenger – Loser of The Qualifier vs Winner of The Knock-Out
The Final – Winner of The Qualifier vs Winner of The Challenger
It’s no surprise that the derby games between the two Sydney teams and the two Melbourne teams are the biggest games of the season. The hype around these games is huge and these are the matchups that every year gets the highest attendance.
Big Bash League teams: Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat, Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades, Melbourne Stars, Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers, Sydney Thunder
