Top 10 Score In The Big Bash League Of All-Time History

BBL: For any team, the first motive is to score the most possible runs in their batting innings. Thus, the opposition team gets put under pressure. Because the team that scores the most runs, wins the match in cricket. And with the kind of hitting ability modern-day batters have got, we have seen that scoring runs over 10 runs per over is also achievable.

Especially in the T20 format, teams prefer to score 200+ runs batting first. And in this article, we will talk about the list of highest totals in the Big Bash League. The next edition of the BBL is scheduled to start on December 16 with a total of 61 games.
