Tournament Overview
Series Overview
The 2023-24 Big Bash League produced Brisbane Heat's second championship title and ended Perth Scorchers' consecutive title dominance. In the final at Sydney Cricket Ground, Brisbane posted a competitive total and then dismantled Sydney Sixers' batting with a 54-run margin that left no doubt about the deserving champions. The Sixers, traditionally the BBL's most consistent franchise, could not find the form that had brought them multiple titles. Brisbane's collective effort throughout the season — no single superstar but a depth of batting and incisive bowling — was the hallmark of their campaign. The result meant the BBL's fourth different champion in as many seasons: Sixers (2019-20, 2020-21), Scorchers (2021-22, 2022-23), and now Brisbane Heat for 2023-24.
