Apart from the Ashes, Big Bash League (BBL) is currently going on in Australia. Record-breaking performances have been seen in the first week of BBL 2025-26, which started from December 14. On Friday (19 December), the sixth match of the league was played between Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers. In this match, the bowlers were beaten to such an extent that a total of 515 runs were scored. Perth Scorchers, who came to bat first after losing the toss, had scored 257 runs at the loss of 6 wickets, which Brisbane Heat created a sensation by achieving by losing 2 wickets in 19.5 overs.
