The BBL or the Big Bash League is a men's professional franchise T20 League organized by Cricket Australia. It is the successor to the very successful KFC T20 Big Bash. The tournament has a double round robin format followed by the knockout stage. It was first held in 2011-12.
There are eight participating teams in BBL. The current Champions of the BBL are the Adelaide Strikers while Perth Scorchers is the most successful team in BBL so far, having won three titles. Michael Klinger is the leading run scorer in the history of the tournament with 1,886 runs. Ben Laughlin, with 87 wickets is the leading wicket-taker of the league.
The tournament features renowned players from all over the world. T20 specialists such as Brendon Mccullum, Dwayne Bravo bring music to the party. While domestic players are the main stars of the tournament. BBL has seen many domestic players emerging and becoming stars overnight.
The highlight of BBL 2019 is going to be the spinning duo of Mujeeb ur Rahman and Rashid Khan from Afghanistan. Both of them have been the key players of any team they have ever played for. The fans would be expecting them to put on a show to remember.
While Adelaide Strikers would try and retain their Championship, they are going to face some stiff competition, especially from Brisbane Heat. Heats are fan favorites and one of the top contenders for the 2018-19 BBL title.
We obviously cannot rule out the Perth Scorchers, which has been the most successful team in the history of BBL. But we never know, maybe Hobart Hurricanes, who had a terrible last season may emerge victorious this time. After all cricket is an unpredictable game.
