The ninth edition of arguably the second-most popular T20 league across the world, Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL) will kick start from Tuesday.
The BBL|09 will comprise 61 matches this season to be played across a period of slightly less than two months, f🌠rom 17th December 201✱9 to 8th February 2020.
Few changes have been made in the playoffs where apart from the usual Eliminaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtor and Qualifier, the BBL will now also🐲 have the Knockout and the Challenger before the Final.
Teams finishing 4th and 5th after thܫe league stage will go up against each other in the Eliminator while the top two teams will compete in the Qualifier.
The winner of the Eliminatoꦐr will lock horns against the team finishing 3rd in the Kno🔜ckout. The winner of the Knockout will play against the losing team of the Qualifier in the Challenger.
At l𝔍ast, the winners of the Qualifier and the Challenger will take on each 🅘other in the Final.
Other than that, t🐲he usual double round-robin format will be followed in the league stage in which each team will t𝄹ake on other teams twice.
