Discussion on Era and Evolutions of T20 cricket is just like a half of the glass without mentioning or giving credit to BBL; If IPL is the richest T20 league in the world, BBL is a standout for the grandest T20 league in cricketing circuits! In many terms, BBL is considered as one of the best view leagues for grounds, atmosphere, crowd engagement, innovative commentary boxes, social media coverage, and innovations like zing balls, helmet cameras, power surge rules, 360-degree viewership angle on local CA apps and many more.

History and Past Winners – BBL’s first season was started in the 2011-12 season and replaced the local KFC Twenty20 Big Bash into a franchise-based Big Bash League. Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers are the most successful team of the tournament that wins 4 and 3 titles respectively, whereas, the most unlucky team is Melbourne Stars that fail to win a title yet (2 time runner-up). Chris Lynn is leading all-time top run charts with 3005 runs and Sean Abbott leading all-time top wicket charts with 125 wickets. BBL’s past winner lists are as below;

🏆 2011/12 – Sydney Sixers (Runner-up – Perth Scorchers)

BBL as a League for Punters – As per my personal experience, BBL is one of the professional leagues as far as teams/odds/market. A professional punter will enjoy this kind league where a proper contest is there between bat and ball. Good teams do better and Bad teams pay the price for their mistakes. It is not a league where you expect an unexpected on-field drama, circus, magic in every match (like our Asian Leagues); rather BBL has its own standards and their conundrum in which the league behaves and follows. BBL has always had an upper hand on 'Runs-On-The-Board' and 'Favour the First Bat' by standards.

Additionally, one notable thing to remember is that in BBL only 2 overseas players (unlike 4 overseas in other leagues) can participate in playing 11 and therefore you must have good knowledge of Australian Domestic players, ultimately this knowledge will help you to know the team strength and weakness in a better way. Our suggestions to punter is to take BBL as a standard league and revise the trading strategy while playing in BBL. Overall if you are able to get rid and identify the veins of the league, its league to make sure shot money in many terms.

First Things First – 13th Editions and Punters – If you believe that number 13 is an unlucky number then you are in the same boat. As we have observed 13th Edition of the league/series is one of the worst of all time and a nightmare for the punters. Recent examples are; IPL 13 (2020) and ICC Cricket World Cup 13 (2023). If you look at both IPL and World Cup then found that both leagues were the worst in their respective disciplines. Considering the number 13, we advise punters to make wise decisions in BBL otherwise it will wipe out your pocket.

1) Past Year Recap and Summary – Last season of BBL was the first season played without COVID scare and played with full fledged crowd capacity. Last season of BBL was an outstanding season from a punting angle and punters enjoyed a lot. For a change, the FINALE of BBL was the best of all season where the match went all the way to last over thrill and Perth Scorchers defended their title by defeating Brisbane Heat in style!

6) Weather Challenge – Australia is the country that has faced a lot of climate change disasters in past years. It's advised that you MUST CHECK the weather forecast properly before the start of any match and place the bet accordingly.

7) Venue Details – 13 different venues will be used in this year’s BBL as after 3 years BBL is back to its normal routine of Home/Away schedule, each venue has its own characterises and pitch behaviour, check it out in detail as below for major venues in details where majority of BBL will be played;

👉 Simonds Stadium, Geelong – Geelong is one of the contrasting and unpredictable venues of Australia. Traditionally ground is used for Football and Rugby matches and for Cricket running amendment and modification made over drop-in pitches and boundaries sizes. Total Number of Matches Allotted – 1 (Melbourne Renegades Home Matches). Average First Inning Total – 155-160.

👉 Bellerive Oval, Hobart – Hobart is considered as one of the Chase Favourite grounds in Australia. As square boundaries are small, no total is much safe at Hobart as we witnessed in BBL as well. 170-80 considered as good fighting and PAR total at Hobart. Total Number of Matches Allotted – 4 (Hobart Hurricanes Home Matches). Average First Inning Total – 165-175.

👉 Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne – MCG is often considered as the Master of Collapse Ground. MCG has witnessed a large number of collapses in major multi-national events/tournaments. With big square boundaries and dead nature of pitches, MCG always preferred runs on the board. Anything over 165-70 will be difficult to chase and anything below 155-50 will be difficult to defend, that is how the pitch and nature of MCG. Total Number of Matches Allotted – 4 (Melbourne Stars Home Matches). Average First Inning Total – 150-155.

👉 Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney – SCG considered as a true sporting venue in Australia. With spin friendly wickets, SCG offers a true veteran style of cricket in the modern era. 175 is considered as a PAR score and by nature the SCG venue is defended. Total Number of Matches Allotted – 4 (Sydney Sixer Home Matches). Average First Inning Total – 165-175.

👉 Adelaide Oval, Adelaide – Adelaide is one of the punter friendly grounds of Australia. Adelaide has witnessed unbelievable matches and turn-around in the past (irrespective of format). Punter will enjoy trading in Adelaide matches. 165-70 is considered a PAR score at Adelaide. Total Number of Matches Allotted – 5 (Adelaide Strikers Home Match). Average First Inning Total – 160-165.

👉 The Gabba, Brisbane – Gabba is one of the pace paradise venues of the modern era. Fast bowlers will enjoy the true and fast wicket of Gabba. By nature Gabba as well is in line with MCG having the same nature on PAR score. Anything over 165-70 will be difficult to chase and anything below 155-50 will be difficult to defend. Total Number of Matches Allotted – 5 (Brisbane Heats Home Match). Average First Inning Total – 165-170.

👉 Perth Stadium, Perth – Perth Stadium or Optus Stadium is a newly built stadium in Perth that replaced traditionally W.A.C.A. Very few international T20 matches are played in the new Perth stadium hence not much exposure on PAR score as sample size is very small. However, BBL records its ground that favours bat first with added advantage on odds. Total Number of Matches Allotted – 5 (Perth Scorchers Home Match). Average First Inning Total – 160-165.

👉 Docklands Stadium, Melbourne – First and unique roof elevated cricket stadium in the world. Docklands stadium is well-known for its jackpot nature games as square boundaries are very small. Over the past years Docklands have produced a very high number of interesting and jackpots matches of BBL. Traditionally pitch and ground dimensions are favoured chasing teams the most and there is no total considered as safe total at Docklands stadium (BBL’s highest run chase of 223 between Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes happened at Dockland Stadium only in 2017 season!). Total Number of Matches Allotted – 4 (Melbourne Renegades Home Match). Average First Inning Total – 150-155.

8) Team Perth Scorchers – Perth Scorchers are one of the successful and highly professional and consistent teams of the BBL. This year partial non-availability of Mitch Marsh (due to national duty) will hurt the Perth Scorchers and the batting department looks weak this year. Bowling as usual at its top notch for Perth to defend any total but the team will definitely struggle to chase down a high score for sure due to lack of fire-power in batting.

👉 Team Strength – Anyone can produce big-match performance from no-where, Pace Attack and Defend ability.

👉 Team Weakness – Vulnerable batting against spin

9) Team Sydney Sixers – Sydney Sixers is the only team that has the same core and bunch of players since generations. Sixers do not believe in keeping changing/chopping in their core balance and that strategy makes them the second most successful team of BBL. Inclusion of Kurtis Patterson will definitely boost Sixers' weak batting line-ups and they have specialist death bowlers in the forms of Tom Curran and Sean Abbott.

👉 Team Strength – Top Order Batter, Spin Attack and Death Bowling.

👉 Team Weakness – Weak Middle Order and genuine finisher is missing.

10) Team Sydney Thunder – Sydney Thunder behave like Thunder-storm only when it comes to progress in BBL; Starts with cracker jack STORM but slowly make it deem as tournament progresses. Thunder has lost their veteran servant Usman Khawaja (who has won a maiden BBL title to Thunders) in a trade with Brisbane Heat but have enough power in batting like Alex Hales. Thunder also have best available all-round resources like Crhis Green and Daniel Sams in their ranks. Inclusion of David Warner in the final phase of BBL will definitely give some kick that thunder is missing over the years. The only weak link in Thunders line-up is the captain of the team i.e. Chris Green. Chris Green has done captainship stints in the past but not as full time captain. Thunder's fortune will all depend on Chris Green's captaincy abilities.

👉 Team Strength – Top Order Batter and Genuine All-rounders.

👉 Team Weakness – Weak Middle Order, Vulnerable batting against spin and genuine finisher is missing.

11) Team Melbourne Stars – Stars; as name suggests full of stars, high profile players, one of the richest franchisees, comes from sporting capital of Melbourne and played at MCG as their Home Ground. Despites of having everything, the star has nothing to illustrate on the BBL map. Somehow, they are consistent enough to make it to the semis and playoffs but cannot breach the code of conduct of winning the knockout matches. However, this year Melbourne Stars will be delighted with the availability of Glenn Maxwell which was missing last year.

👉 Team Strength – Strong Middle Order and Pace Attack.

👉 Team Weakness – Spin bowling, In-consistence in performance.

12) Team Melbourne Renegades – Renegades are a very consistent team in terms of losing matches and remain at the bottom of the table since the last 3 seasons. Even though they have experience of big names like Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh, Kane Richardson they have failed to make an impression. Despites of all negatives, Renegades have a big positive factor is that its punter friendly team. 7/10 Renegades matches are punter friendly and punter can have good earnings from renegade’s matches by trading. Inclusion of De Kock and Adam Zampa will definitely help renegades to gain much needed momentum. Our expert suggestions to punters is to focus on trading in renegades matches that will give good profit.

👉 Team Strength – Experience Core and Bowling.

👉 Team Weakness – In-consistence in performance, Fail to finish the match.

13) Team Adelaide Strikers – Adelaide Strikers are as Dark Horse in my lists, my personal favourite team and one of the defending friendly teams of BBL. Adelaide Strikers are also the most fan backed team of BBL, home fan support is amazing in Adelaide's matches and that makes them lethal and even stronger at home. Adelaide Strikers is the only team who can make the match from any situation even If 20 required from the last 18. Bowling is always a big positive for strikers but batting looks a bit weak when their regulars like Travis Head and Alex Carrey are missing out on national duty. However, inclusion Chris Lynn will give them a much needed power punch in power play overs.

👉 Team Strength – Strong Top Order and Pace Attack.

👉 Team Weakness – Spin Bowling, In-consistence in performance, Fail to finish the match.

14) Team Brisbane Heat – Brisbane Heat welcomes their original veteran player (Queenslanders) Usman Khawaja in style. Inclusion of Colin Munro and Sam Billings will make this team more lethal. Brisbane Heat is often compared as BBL’s RCB because of its un-consistent but consistent nature of losing matches from winning situations. It’s a punter's dream team to trade on. Batting looks great on paper but bowling is still a bit weak. Heat has enough firepower to chase any target but could be short on defending modest totals.

👉 Team Strength – Strong Top Order and Pace Attack.

👉 Team Weakness – Spin Bowling, In-consistence in performance, Fail to finish the match.

15) Team Hobart Hurricanes – Hobart is another proven punter friendly team. On paper Hobart looks the most stable and balanced team of all but they always failed to apply the same on the field in key matches. If bowling works then their batter disappoints and if the batter posts a good total bowler makes a mockery of the total. Due to this uneven balance of bat/ball it makes Hobart a special trading team amongst the all in the history of BBL.

👉 Team Strength – Strong Middle Order and Genuine Finishers in team.

👉 Team Weakness – Spin Bowling, In-consistence in performance.

16) Bookie Teams – Melbourne Stars, Sydney Thunder

17) Punter Friendly Teams – Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades

18) Dark Horse Team – Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heats

19) Average Team – Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers

20) First Bat v Second Bat – As mentioned earlier, BBL always has an odds that supports First Bat by nature of wicket and ground dimensions. We will witness 65% V 35% ratio on Defend V Chasing the total in BBL. High scores will not be easily chased and modest totals will not be easily defended and that trend will continue in BBL as well. Overall, we are expecting 165-70 is a very high PAR score of BBL.

21) Chase V Defend Jackpot Scenarios – As per stats, this year defend jackpots has upper hand in compared to chase jackpots irrespective of series and that trend will continue in BBL as well and traditionally BBL supports first bat as well, we will witnessed more off defend jackpots in this year’s BBL as well.

22) BBL’s BIG Players that always Loot Punters – Chris Lynn, Aaron Finch, Andrew Tye, Travis Head, Daniel Sams, Joe Burns, Marcus Stoinis, Andre Russell, Moises Henriques, Nathan Coulter-Nile – These are the lists of some special players and they are born to loot only. Whenever punters are doing some trading/session by putting faith on them; these players disappoint every time for 8/10 times. Please be careful with these special players of BBL.

23) BBL’s Punter Friendly Players – Daniel Christian, Kurtis Patterson, Adam Zampa, Rashid Khan, Mathew Gilkes, Usman Khawaja, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Tim David, Ashton Agar, Wes Agar, Sam Billings, Jason Sangha – These are some lists of players which have die hard fight ability for team. They will do their best in the middle and will not disappoint you as a punter for 8/10 times. You can put your faith and money on these players.

24) 6 Over Session Yes/No Calculations – First 6 over session calculations and stats are totally changed since the ‘Power Surge’ rule is implemented in BBL. Some teams take the first 4 overs in precautionary manner some make it big bangs and that impacts on the overall 6 over session total. As per stats average 6 over session figure is around 42-43 runs since past 3 seasons (since Power Surge implements) and average 6 over session opens in every match is around 44-45-46. These stats will give an exact mirror that placing a bet on ‘SESSION NOT’ is more beneficial than ‘SESSION YES’. Off course team by team it varies but overall trend suggests that most of the teams prefer slow starters in BBL.

25) Power Surge Puzzle – Since the power surge rule applied in BBL, it's always been treated as a puzzle for teams and punters as well. In BBL avoid putting your bet on a 15 over session as doors are open for power surge after 10 overs and you never know if any team takes power surge in between the whole scenarios of session calculation will change. Always prefer to have a session bet after completion of 2 overs of power surge.

26) New Year Evening Match (31st December) – New Year Evening match has its own importance in BBL since its inception; 2 things were fixed; One is that it will be Adelaide Strikers home match and Second is that Adelaide Strikers will win the match in jackpot style. Unfortunately since the last 3 seasons Adelaide Strikers are losing the match and losing it in one-sided fashion (In-fact in 2019 season – We are the only in the market who has predicted in Advance that Adelaide will lose from here onwards and that happened).

27) Some lists of Punter Friendly Matches - Melbourne Stars V Sydney Thunder, Perth Scorchers V Sydney Sixers, Adelaide Strikers V Brisbane Heats, and Hobart Hurricanes V Melbourne Renegades.

28) Double Header Dilemma – We have observed that whenever there is a double header, a morning match is often a one-sided or dead match, hence our suggestions to you to kindly make sure to avoid first match double header or do trading in second inning to avoid huge loss.

29) Top 4 Finish – Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers, Hobart Hurricane and Melbourne Stars

30) Overall BBL 13 Predictions – As mentioned earlier, as it’s 13th Edition of the league things and movement looks a bit dicey to start with. Punters have to be a bit patient and accept the change in the nature of the tournament. However, as the league is short to only 44 matches, we may find some good pace jackpot and quick turn around on one-sided matches. In short – Patience is the key to success in this year’s BBL.

Additionally – We often hear about bookmaker related fraud in the market, sometimes when you are on a good winning note, a bookmaker refuses to release or withdraw your winning amount. This leads to further frustration to punter and act as salt on wounds. To avoid such things, it is better to play at your city’s local bookmaker only, in the worst case if you are unable to find genuine bookmakers around you with 24X7 service then you can choose and trust on our own product ‘Khan Dada Online Hub’.
