One of the finest franchise tournaments in the world, BBL has completed its 15th edition and Perth Scorchers have been crowned champions of the competition for a record sixth time. So, we take a look at the champions and runners-up of all editions of the BBL.
The Australian Big Bash League is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious T20 leagues in the world. With the conclusion of this season, it completed 15 years of successful T20 cricket action in the Big Bash League.
The BBL may be under the complete control of Cricket Australia in its last season, as several teams may be privatized in the upcoming season, including this BBL season’s champions, the Perth Scorchers.
Mitchell Marsh leads the way as Perth Scorchers aim for their sixth BBL title
Australian captain Mitchell Marsh redefined his aura with a brilliant innings in the BBL final in the shortest format of the game. Although the innings was not very fast from a batting point of view, Marsh’s run-a-ball 44 helped the Scorchers to a low-scoring thriller.
After bowling out the Sixers for just 132, the Scorchers eventually chased down 133 in 17.3 overs and won their sixth title in BBL history. The captain’s morale is quite high ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup campaign in India and Sri Lanka.
Several players from the ICC T20 World Cup squad for Australia are part of the Perth Scorchers, a team that includes Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis and Cooper Connolly. The Scorchers won their sixth title with 6 wickets to spare.
Perth Scorchers beat Sydney Sixers for a record fourth time in the BBL final
In a major new record, Perth Scorchers overtook Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings’ record number of wins to win the T20 competition for the sixth time. The Scorchers had previously won it five times, along with Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.
Having played in 9 finals in the history of the BBL, they have an amazing conversion rate and have defeated the Sydney Sixers for a record four of the six times they have won the Big Bash League title.
In contrast, the Sydney Sixers have defeated the Perth Scorchers twice in the BBL finals. Therefore, both teams have competed in a total of 6 out of 15 BBL finals.
