In the Indian Premier League, the play-offs system replaced the semi-finals in the 2011 edition. The top two teams of the league stage deservedly get two chances to make it to the final of the tournament.

On the other hand, in the Big Bash league, all the top four teams get an equal chance of making it to the finals. This in a way demotivates the best team of the entire league stage, as despite playing well for over a month, they can be knocked out of the tournament because of just one bad match.
Also, once a team qualifies for the final 4 in the semi-finals system, they rest some of their top players at the end of the league games, thus, giving the fans less competitive matches.
