Australia’s T20 extravaganza, the Big Bash League (BBL), is back to entertain the cricket fans. The BBL will be played during Australia’s busy summer schedule, with 44 matches scheduled.
The BBL 2023-24 will run from December 7, 2023, to January 24, 2024, in a new format. Though a new format is introduced, that won’t affect the batters as they look to unleash their rampage on the bowlers.

Key Insights
Coilin Munro kicked off the BBL 2023-24 season with a fiery knock of an unbeaten 99 against the Melbourne Stars in the opening game. Munro came close to becoming the first centurion of this season but was left stranded on 99 not out.
Sydney Sixers’ old crop, Steve Smith, carried forward his form from last season and scored 61 off 42 while opening the innings. With that, he crossed the 1000-run milestone in his BBL career. You can check out the leading run-scorers in BBL history here.
Melbourne Renegades Will Sutherland, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Stars Hilton Cartwright have been digging runs at an impressive strike rate. They have the potential to end up at the top of the list.
