BBL Format
The BBL playoffs will be similar to the grand Indian Premier League, with a little addition. The tournament allows the fifth team on the Big Bash League standings to participate in the knockout stages as well.
The Eliminator will see the fourth and fifth-placed teams fight it out. There will be two Qualifiers which will see the first two teams try to get to the final quickly.
The second one will see the third-placed team play the winner of the Eliminator. It will be followed by the ‘Challenger’ which will see the loser of the Qualifier play against the winner of the second Qualifier to find a place in the Final.
Therefore, the primary aim of all teams will be to find a place in the top 5 of the Big Bash points table and get a place in the playoffs.
- The Eliminator (Elimination Final)- Fourth v Fifth
- The Qualifier (Second Semi-Final)- First v Second
- The Knock-Out (First Semi-Final)- Third v Winner of The Eliminator
- The Challenger (Preliminary Final)- Loser of The Qualifier v Winner of The Knock-Out
- The Final (Grand Final)- Winner of The Qualifier v Winner of The Challenger
