Babar Azam scored good today in the match against Sydney Thunder and Sydney Sixers. It was a wonderful partnership with Steven Smith and especially how can we missed that 100 runs by Steven Smith bat off 42 balls. Long sixes and amazing fours. For Sydney Thunder it was David Warner scored 110 runs and for Sixers it was for Steven Smith also the player of the game.

Today Mitchell Starc also had a single wicket while he gave 31 runs. By the way, I think Babar Azam should play a bit fast, yeah he was playing so good smashed a four on the first ball but he should look for long shots, play fearlessly. There were 7 fours in his innings but no sixes.

Yeah I agree, Babar Azam must focus on his strike rate still Steven Smith and Babar Azam put good partnership of 141 runs in just 12 overs, this gave good foundation for their win in that game after Babar Azam wicket Sydney Sixers kept things on good level and chased this target in just 17.5 overs with the lost of 5 wickets, now their last game is against Brisbane Heat which will decide who is going to stay for playoff.

Sydney Thunders ended their campaign with their poor run in this edition of Big Bash league. They did not have any chance of going into playoffs due to 8 defeats in group matches and will stay at bottom of the table, confirmed.

These players of SS played with a very better performance, Babar Azam scored 47 runs and the other players also played well and achieved this winning which they played with a lot of hard work and struggle and achieved the win. The better struggle of these two players struggled to meet the target of 191 and made the game their winning. The performance with which this player scored 100 runs and achieved this target. Neither more wickets were taken nor more runs were given by the ST bowler, which is why they were defeated. If Babar Azam has played with a better performance, but he could have played even better, but he gave full support to his other player by scoring 47 runs and won the game. In this game, some of the ST bowlers could not put pressure and gave runs to the opposing team, while they should have struggled and given their team a win.

Melbourne Stars did not have a good start against Perth Scorchers, but the middle order played well. Campbell Kellaway was scoring slowly, but at the same time, if you think in different terms, it was good to play safe hands, protecting the wickets and also looking for shot runs, similar to Marcus Stoinis who was playing a bit faster.

Both were making a good partnership, fulfilling the need of Melbourne Stars. If we only talk about the specific power play of the first four overs, they scored 32 runs in the loss of 3 wickets. The score was good but the fall of wickets wasn't good for them.

It was a really enjoyable game between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars. Best bowling, accurate fielding and aggressive batting, in today's match from the side of Perth Scorchers. Finn Allen played a very classical inning while chasing the target. He was in good touch and contributed 69 runs in total and the target was 131. target seems to be easy but actually it's not an easy target to chase but Perth Scorchers complete. Melbourne Stars began losing their wickets early on and not a single long partnership to be seen which turns the game in favor of Perth Scorchers. Melbourne Stars also showing  poor bowling and Perth Scorchers won the game due their strong batting line up.

This game was not played with much better performance because there was pressure on both of them in this game and the main reason for this was to win the game which was very important for both of them but PS's performance was better than their opponents. MS players could not score more runs owing to which their target was not that better and they did not put much pressure on their bowlers which would have won them the game. MS's performance was much better and with struggle owing to which they would have made this game easy. MS players did not struggle much and if all the players had shown a better performance together, the won could have been theirs. PS's performance was better than theirs both their players and bowlers played a successful game and have won and are at the top.

The partnership between Babar Azam and Smith done scored half of the target. Smith seized the moment with his fast century bespite the challenging target, Smith batting made the chase much easier for the rest of the players and SS secured a easy victory.

40th and last game of group stage ended and this was as well end of season for Brisbane Heats as they are knocked out after having lost in this game where after winning toss Sydney Sixers chose to bowl first and done good job by their bowlers specially Mitchel Starc and Sam Curran who have early breakthrough Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja both failed to contribute.

Nathan McSweeney scored 69 runs which was the biggest contribution for Brisbane Heats in their total of 171 for 9 but in reply, Sydney Sixers was on fire and done good work from start through Steven Smith and then Sam Curran handed big win and second spot in league table to their team, now playoffs going to start from tomorrow.

[dezoel]

Babar Azam again failed in another important game but entry of Mitchel Starc and Steven Smith was good boost for the Sydney Sixers as they entered into playoffs where now line up is completed and teams are preparing for crucial stage of this season, first game is going to be played between Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers at Perth on 20th January.

Here winner will be into final and loser will be waiting for the second qualifier which is a knockout going to be played between Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars at Hobart on 21st January. Big Bash is touching new highs of success in last few years even they are having the longest schedule but it is working good for their franchises and players. I have few plans for my betting, let me see how my predictions are going to be.

[Doll2233]

Sydney Sixers bowled first. Brisbane Heat team in this match could not start well. They lost 3 wickets in power play.  No one partnership could cross 48 runs. But little by little they took it to around 180. Nathan McSweeney was prominent on the basis of their runs but he played with 127 strike rate and 127 strike rate was not considered good in T20 on the other hand Michael Neser played fast he scored 35 runs in just 14 balls.
As we know that in previous Sydney Sixers won match similarly they keep his strength same in this match. In bowling side Mitchell Starc took 4 wickets and gave 35 runs. He is an experienced player so he use his experience. In batting line Sam Curran
Played brilliant he scored 53 runs in 27 balls. He is a good all rounder. Also Smith made make fifty but at low run rate. It was 135 strike rate. But almost every player participated well and they won the match by 5 wickets.

In this match Sydney Sixers played against Brisbane Heat.Nathan McSweeney laid a foundation in his match by giving a brilliant inning of 69 run .After that, Michael Neser scored 35 runs. Apart from this, the rest of the players did not perform particularly well, but still they set a target of 171 runs. You can see that there was no teamwork in their team at all, due to which they faced failure. While the players of the Sydney Sixers team completed this target in 18 and four balls. Sam Curran became the player of the match and along with him Steven Smith also batted brilliantly, but Nathan McSweeney could not score as much, but they had a good team, due to which they won this match by scoring 177 runs. The Brisbane Heat team had tried their best to win the match. The target was not that bad, which could have easily led to their defeat, but when was not seen team work in them the other team took advantage of it.Picked up and turned the game around.

From the start of the tournament, it is for Sydney Sixers that they were losing almost every single game before but in 2026 they made comeback and more than half of the credit goes to the legendary Steven Smith with long boundaries and scoring many runs in every game.

Now I hope that they will continue their winning streak in the next all of their remaining knockout games. Each match carries it's own importance. Today they will be playing their qualifier match against Perth Scorchers.

[Nanga Parbat]

In the BPL match today, the batsmen of Rajashahi warriors have played very poorly, which will be a very bad defeat for them. The way their batsmen have scored runs and set an easy target, the batsmen of Chattogram will easily succeed in fulfilling it. Only one batsman of Rajashahi warriors could score 41 runs, the other batsmen played very poorly and gave a modest target of 133 which is very weak. If the bowlers of Rajashahi warriors play well, then this match can go in their favor in a victory, but their batsmen wasted today's points and Chattogram which should have failed in this match, is succeeding with the power of victory. There is a break in the match now, after a while the batsmen of Chattogram will play and will victory the match easily and without carelessness.  The way the league is ending, teams should work hard, but they are wasting matches and points by being careless.

[tbterryboy]

Finn Allen, Cooper Connolly and Mahli Beardman done impressive job for Perth Scorchers and defend 148 title for cause of having spot into final of Big Bash final while Babar Azam misery is still on losing his wicket on second ball of inning with another duck.

In first qualifier of Big Bash, Sydney Sixers won toss and have bowled first, this was a good decision as they restricted Perth Scorchers on 147 but while in chasing this small target, they lost all their ten wickets for just 99 runs. Steven Smith still done his best but no support from other end, this must be the reason for this loss, now they have to play second qualifier with the winner from knockout match which is going to be played tomorrow between Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars.
