Most Ducks in BBL

BBL: T20 cricket is not easy for both batters and bowlers. For a bowler, they focus on restricting the batsmen from scoring runs quickly and also taking wickets. On the other hand, as a batsman, you need to score quickly too, without losing your wicket. Thus, the competition in this format is way higher.

It happens sometimes that in order to score quick runs, a batsman gets out on a duck. Thus, the ratio of a batsman getting out on zero is higher in T20s as compared to other formats. Well, if it is about entertainment, the Big Bash League is not far behind. The BBL always offers its fans some incredible performances on the field.
