These scores do not happen every other day in T20 cricket and it takes an extraordinary amount of effort from all the batters in the team or one batter has to play the innings of his life to achieve it
A lot of players have contributed to their team’s overall score when a team hits a record breaking score in a BBL game. The bowlers however are just mere spectators and they are there to just get hit fir fours and sixes in such a type of batting innings. Let’s look at the Top 5 Highest team scores in BBL History.
1. Sydney Thunder (232 Runs):
This is the record for the Highest team score in the history of the BBL. This monster of a team batting effort took place last year in January 2021 and the Sydney Sixers bowlers were getting hammered all around the ground and sometimes out of it as well. Alex Hales was the star of the innings as he scored an amazing century off just 56 balls with 9 fours and 8 huge sixes in his innings. All the other batters impressed him greatly and thus they were able to create history and set a BBL record and it will take some unreal effort to break it.
