How the Big Bash league translates into the game

The Big Bash League (BBL) is Australia’s franchise Twenty20 competition, featuring eight city-based teams. Matches are played between two sides of 11 players each, where one team bats and the other bowls/fields to restrict runs and take wickets. The app mirrors those rules and match rhythms, although the in-game tutorial focuses on control mechanics rather than explaining cricket-specific terms or scoring outcomes in detail.
