Who will win Big Bash League 2024

Australia’s biggest T20 cricket league - BBL is back for yet another thrilling season. The 13th season or BBL 13 is set to start on 7th December, 2023 at The Gabba in Brisbane. The final will take place on 24th January in 2024.

Current champions Perth Scorchers will go into the next season as the favourites. They have won two BBL seasons back to back and they are the most successful team with 5 titles.

2022 runners-up Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars will go head to head against each other in the season opener match of the BBL 2023-24 season. There are some new changes in the squads for the upcoming season and we will see the power-hitter from South Africa, Quinton de Kock making his BBL debut this year.

Let’s take a look at our analysis for the upcoming season of the BBL 2023-24

Top Contender to win BBL 2024

According to our analysis, we are backing Sydney Sixers to win the BBL 2023-24 trophy.

The Scorchers are certainly the favourites and a strong squad as well. But it can be difficult for them to win three seasons back to back.

Sydney Sixers have roped in England’s bowling all-rounder Tom Curran for the upcoming season. He was awarded the Player of the Tournament for the The Hundred Men’s 2023 season. Along with him, Sean Abbott will lead the pace attack after finishing the last season as the leading wicket taker with 29 wickets.

The batting line-up will be equipped with some of the top batters like Jordan Silk, Hayden Kerr, Josh Philippe, James Vince. Silk was brilliant in the last season as he accumulated 363 runs at an average of 45.37.
