BBL season 13 2023-24 all team squad, players list, captains and coaches
The Melbourne Stars, the reigning champions and record five-time champion Perth Scorchers, will open the tournament against Melbourne Renegades, while Brisbane Heat, the runners-up from the previous year, will take on both teams.
After negotiations between broadcasters and Cricket Australia to shorten the schedule, the BBL 2023–24 has been altered, with each team playing 10 games instead of 12. For the first four opponents, each team will play twice, and the final three opponents, once. After 40 league games are played, the top four teams will move on to the postseason.
While the third and fourth teams need to win two straight games to get into the final, the top two teams will have two chances to advance. In order to advance straight to the final, the teams in the top two spots on the points table will play each other in the qualifier.
The tournament is all set to begin from December 7. Here is all you need to know about the tournament.
