Big Bash League 2019–20

Tournament Overview

Series Overview

The 2019-20 BBL final at the Sydney Cricket Ground was reduced to 12 overs per side due to rain, and Sydney Sixers made the most of the conditions to defeat Melbourne Stars by 19 runs and claim their third Big Bash title. Josh Philippe's 52 set the platform for Sixers' 116/5, a total the Stars could not reach — finishing at 97/6. In an unusual twist, Player of the Tournament went to Stars' Marcus Stoinis, whose outstanding season-long form was recognised despite his side's final-day defeat. The win launched the Sixers on a back-to-back title run that would see them claim the 2020-21 championship too.
