Kenyans love sporting activities. Cricket is fast growing to be a favourite sport among locals. While the nation itself may be a little limited in terms of its teams in the sport, it doesn't mean that Kenyans are left out from enjoying the thrill of every ball that’s bowled.

Big Bash League is one of the cricket leagues followed. Established in 2011, the Big Bash League replaced the T20 Big Bash. It is a cricket tournament in Australia where teams follow the T20 format. This means that teams are limited to 20 overs each which allows for a much faster-paced game.

There are eight teams that compete in this tournament and it runs throughout December, January, and February each year. In many ways, it can be viewed as the Australian version of the IPL. The league focuses on homegrown talent and limits the number of overseas players that each team is allowed in their squads.

The best place to follow your live score for this league whilst keeping an eye on your wagers is by using the big bash cricket live score. While cricket may not seem the ideal sport to bet on, it is slowly becoming a favourite.

Big Bash League games are fast. They’re exciting. They’re over in around the same time as a football match, 90 minutes. It’s not like the old days when all you had was test cricket and you had to wait for days for the outcome. It’s now easier as you can place your bet and know the outcome in around 90 minutes.

Cricket is no longer the slightly tedious affair it once was. This new, super-fast, version of the game comes with plenty of touches to liven it all up, ranging from food, and music to performances by celebrities.

When this is combined with cricket, it becomes clear why Kenyans are such big fans of the Big Bash League. With plans to introduce new teams in the pipeline, you can be sure that this popularity is only set to grow.
