Top End T20 Series is a Twenty20 cricket tournament in Territories of Northern Territory in Australia.[1] organised by Northern Territory Cricket and sanctioned by Cricket Australia and first contested during the 2022 season.[2]

The league is played before the Big Bash League every year, so it is also called as pre-season BBL.[3][4]

History

[edit]

In August 2022, the Top End T20 Series was launched. The league was aimed to make up for the absence of high-profile matches in Northern Territory, Australia every year and to expose talented players from districts.[5] [6][7][8]

Tournament structure

[edit]

Six teams will compete during the school summer holidays.There will be 18 matches in the league stage of the tournament, with the top four teams qualifying for the semi-final stage. The winners of both the semi-final matches will be the finalists.
