The Big Bash League 2024-25 kicks off with an exciting match between Perth Scorchers (SCO) and Melbourne Stars (STA) at Optus Stadium, Perth, on 15 December 2024.

Melbourne Stars had a disappointing season last year, finishing sixth and failing to make it to the knockout stages.

With a squad full of talented players, they will be looking to bounce back strong and make a mark in this edition.

On the other hand, Perth Scorchers, the most successful team in BBL history, are aiming for a better run after being knocked out in the knockouts last season. With five titles under their belt, they have the experience and depth to compete at the highest level. Perth will be determined to go all the way and add another trophy to their collection. The team will rely on their star players to lead them to victory as they begin their quest for a sixth title.
