BBL 2023-24 Schedule: Cricket Australia (CA) has announced the schedule for the thirteenth edition of the Big Bash League, which is slated to begin on December 7 at Brisbane's Gaba. The eight-team tournament will see the unfolding of a new-look schedule prepared by the Australian officials. The article will revolve around the BBL 2023-24 Schedule, Big Bash League 13 Fixtures, Venues, Teams and Squads.



As per the latest format for the BBL 2023-24, the top two clubs at the end of the 40-match league stage will get double chances to get through to the final. 



Earlier, the top five teams used to proceed to the BBL knockouts, however, as per the latest rules, the top four teams will feature in round two. This time BBL will follow the IPL style of knockout fixtures whereby, the top two teams will play out the 'Qualifier 1' and the winner will directly make their way to the finals of the tournament. While the losing side will get a second chance in the next few days in 'Qualifier 2'. 



The second knockout game will be held between third and fourth-ranked teams in the BBL 2023-24, which will be called 'Eliminator'. The winner of Eliminator will then play against the losing club of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2. 



In another change this season, BBL will have just 10 home and away games for its eight clubs which is a reduction of 4 matches per side. Along with the reduction in the number of games per side, there will be lesser doubleheaders in the season as compared to the last one. Also, there will be no cricket on display on Christmas day as the league intends to prioritise its high-voltage clashes to be held in prime time slots.



The 44-match Australian tournament is set to get underway on December 7 with last year's runner-up Brisbane Heat locking horns with Melbourne Stars at the Gabba. The knockout fixtures are scheduled to start on January 19, 2024, with Qualifier 1. The Eliminator and Qualifier 2 are scheduled on January 20 and 22. Meanwhile the final of the BBL 2023-24 will be staged on January 24.

Brisbane Heat will be playing the inaugural match of Big Bash League 2023-24 against Melbourne Stars. Brisbane Heat was the runner-up in the last edition of BBL as they played excellent cricket throughout the tournament but unfortunately lost the finals against Perth Scorchers. Watching how Brisbane Heat will perform in this edition will be exciting.



Glenn Maxwell will be the captain of Melbourne Stars, and he is also in good form, which will give them confidence to play better cricket, but it is not going to be easy for them to defeat Brisbane Heat. The key strengths of Melbourne Stars are the middle-order and quality all-rounders who can turn the game's momentum towards their team at any time.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HEA vs STA Dream11 Prediction:</h2>



The Dream11 Prediction for the Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars is to pick more batters in your team, whereas bowlers will be pretty expensive at this venue, especially spinners, so try to avoid them. Don't forget to Pick death over bowlers, as they can give you a couple of points in this match. Pick Glenn Maxwell as captain and Usman Khawaja as vice-captain of your fantasy team.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HEA vs STA Dream11 Prediction Must-Have Picks:</h2>



Glenn Maxwell, Xavier Bartlett, Marcus Stoinis, Joe Burns, Sam Billings, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Josh Brown, Spencer Johnson, Liam Dawson, Usman Khawaja, Michael Neser, Matthew Renshaw, Olly Stone.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
