IPL vs PSL vs BBL – Which is better T20 Cricket League?

[Proudpakistaniguy]

The TV ratings are off the roof. You have a valid point, we should get more matches in Sharjah instead of Dubai, even last year we had a lot of crowd in Sharjah. PSL cannot be compared with IPL or other leagues as the others are way ahead, but the standard and production of PSL is just as good as BBL. I don't find the production of IPL to be good, honestly speaking.
PSL should be brought back to Pakistan, maybe next year.

Its main goal of PCB to bring cricket in Pakistan through PSL which was not possible in first few editions. Now they are talking about having final in lahore Pakistan in this edition to see how many foreign players show their interests so many hurdles for PCB to tackle unlike rest of league which has none of these issues. Overseas people in dubai or uae are working class people who has only friday holiday and they cannot be in stadium for every match..

The world’s most popular T20 cricket league, IPL introduced in 2008 by the BCCI which became instant success and fans help this cash-rich league to become most watched cricket event. Indian Premier League has all elements that require for entertainment like big cricketers, glamour and millions of dollars. After the success of IPL, few other cricket boards also started their own version of T20 franchise leagues like Big Bash League (BBL) and Pakistan Super League (PSL). Today we will compare, IPL vs PSL vs BBL to find which is better T20 cricket league.

As you know IPL is run by BCCI like that, BBL and PSL is run by Cricket Australia and Pakistan cricket board respectively. All these three leagues are common in terms of format but still have some differences. IPL has entered in its tenth edition while BBL is just six seasons old and PSL is started last year, still, these two leagues are giving tough competition to IPL.



Indian Premier League has set the standards for the leagues including lucrative tv rights deal, most popular T20 league, most watched league and also one of the highest attended league in the world. While Big Bash League (BBL) is the second after IPL but it has changed the cricket viewing experience of fans. So, we decided to compare the IPL, PSL and BBL to see which league is the best cricket league in the world.

Popularity: (IPL)
Indian premier League is a clear winner here because it is the most watched T20 cricket league. World’s richest cricket board knows how to market compared to other boards. IPL has better structured, highest average attended and huge media coverage. IPL is broadcasted by around 25+ sports network in most of the countries around the world while PSL is broadcast in 8 cricket countries.

BBL is the 2nd most popular tournament and hence, it is broadcast in 10 countries. The popularity of Big Bash is increasing every season while there was fall in tv ratings of IPL last season.

Average Attendance (IPL)


The IPL is the most-attended cricket league and ranks sixth among all sports leagues in the world. The Melbourne derby between the Stars and Renegades in the BBL 2015 witness 80,883 fans in the stadium. Big Bash now becomes the 9 most attended sports league in the world while PSL average attendance per match is low as it is held in the UAE.

Money: (IPL)


PSL first season total prize money was 1 Million USD which is too low compared to what IPL offers a total prize money of US$5.9 million. 5.9 Million USD. BBL offer a total of $890,000 as prize money. Comparing all 3 leagues total prize money, Indian premier League is way ahead of other leagues.

Commentators: (BBL)


IPL features a long list of commentators from serious to funny like Manjrekar, Shastri, Siddhu and Danny Morrison but BBL commentators are way more entertaining. BBL features Ricky Ponting, Mark Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, Damien Fleming along with guest commentators like legendary West Indian Sir Vivian Richards, Mr.CricketHussey, Kevin Pietersen, Brandon McCalam and more.

Quality Players: (IPL)


When quality players are concerned Indian Premier League wins this round as almost all big and legendary players have played in the IPL including Sachin Tendulkar, Pointing, Adam Gilchrist, Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Anil Kumble, Graeme Smith, Glenn McGrath and more.

Quality of Cricket: (BBL)


All other factors become secondary when it comes to quality of cricket. Definitely, IPL features more runs, wickets, boundaries and sixes per match which enjoyed more by the crowds but most of the big sixes and huge totals are due to flat Indian pitches and smaller grounds compared to those in Australia.

The IPL bowlers give extras at an average of 10 runs /match while Big Bash bowlers give extras at an average of 5.28 runs/match. PSL has completed its first season but they provide extras at an average of 15 runs /match. From this figure, it is clear that Big Bash bowlers are much more disciplined as compared to IPL & PSL which means BBL show higher standards of bowling. Overall, BBL provides good quality cricket and lesser entertainment.

PSL just started and u know very very well its setting standards, after BCCI tried their best to stop world players to stop participating in PSL, but almost all the foreign players playing in PSL are stars of their teams.

yes after 5 years we will see where is PSL and where is IPL.

and remember from next year PSL will be in Pakistan, so you will saw different PSL as well.

why white chamri foreign cheerleaders? cannot find a single good looking girl in s India? or they dont like their own skin tone i. e dark chmari cheerleader

Here's the process. Check the lists of miss world and miss universe. Then count the number of Indians on the list. Finally try and find a single Pakistani. You will get your answer.
Also to your last question - A likely reason is IPL being able to afford foreign cheerleaders.
Cheers!

Bhai Saab, you Indians are breeding like bacteria. Indian numbers are always astronomical high than any other country. P.S the league is being played in UAE not in Pakistan where the spectator count will get considerably high. Wait for the PSL final than talk.

Looks like I am about to commit blasphemy as my thread about this Pakistani lie was deleted.
I am yet to find a Pakistani who won't lie about IPL 2 and politicization.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/388728.html

Ipl 2 was held in south Africa. It was Pakistan that banned their players from participating and thus putting teams prep in a mess. From next auction onwards teams were obviously reluctant to take that risk.

But looks like in Pakistan, propaganda is considered facts and taking responsibility for own actions is the same as claiming victimhood instead.

Also LOL at "my name is khan" release date.

The correct way of debating:
Well, I have been to the summery of content you posted and I would like to point out the incident that took place in second IPL event, where PCB has stopped their players to participate which caused huge loss to IPL. Might be this is the reason that in next IPL events Pakistani cricket players were not invited? Also, the release date of "My name is Khan" is different.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all Mr.Stag, I have deleted your thread because your tone was not peaceful rather rude and hateful.You think that you can open up a thread with rude intention and separately when already this topic is under discussion.Then the title "The real reason of Hindu zehniyat banned by Pakistanis" and the content in which you tagged me?

How dare you to tag me in such tone, how dare you.In addition to that you start yelling that we are jealous?.I have a right to issue you warning/rating for being provocative but I ignored, thinking that he may learn and change his tone.
You think that entire Pakistanis in the forum, the TTVC/MOD and everyone is behind Indians and we consider Indian or Hindu zehniyat as pathetic and we are jealous of them .Actually, this thinking of yours is childish that all Pakistanis think like that- I don't blame you either, as might be your such psyche is a result of some Pakistani trolls you might have faced.

The source you posted my friend, also quotes the statement of PCB perpective which was:

"We [the sports ministry] had given the NOC, but the final decision was up to the government," Jilani said. "Ever since these attacks [in Mumbai] the situation has got tense and even Pakistani artists are facing problems in India."

Now let us come to the topic: If Pakistan has blocked her players in 2nd IPL then it was NOT the response of 1st IPL but security concerns and since you are skipping 1st incident, therefore let me skip yours and inform you that Azhar Mehmoud participated later on in 4th IPL or 5th after the event when players were called for a bid and NOT TAKEN.
You call this behavior as professional? Either you invite or you don't but you invite and then you do not take in and doing this again and again and what they did in beginning is justified and professional?
Your own media persons condemned this phase and called it the most shameful in Indian sports history.If PCB has done something bad then I will not justify it but condemn it-as realization is the first step of avoidance and advancement.Also, this fact is undeniable that some extremist parties in India do not like Pakistani actors and cricketers to work with Indian.The difference in release date doesn't deny that it was resisted by extremist b/c it was made to favor Muslims?Just yesterday I saw Karan Jauher who expressed his disgust and told that he felt as someone has put his head on gunpoint when he was told to ban Pakistani actor Fawwad Khan to work in his upcoming film by extremist parties. Shahrukh Khan had to beg around to make his film Raees to release in India since Mahira Khan is Pakistani.What and how much and how long you are going to deny all this?Is this our propaganda?If you will hide your head beneath the sand then you will not stop the storm that is arriving to destroy you.
Extremism is as terrible for you as it was and is terrible for us.Learn and try not to decipher the content and posts with extremist perspective.Look around how your Indian board had behaved, what your people, your own people say since we are just considered as propaganda machines or leave this place and vent off to IDF.I hope that they will ruin your mentality against Pakistanis further.
Also, please when you go, do not lie that you were not given a fair chance by me or I am not fair with Indians.Yesterday both areesh and armored division were banned/ thrown by me for becoming abusive towards each other's mothers and sisters...and same treatment will be given to any disrespectful poster regardless of their country flag or being Indian or pakistani.Also, the Pakistani poster was rated negative by Pakistani TTA where as Indian was not rated at all.

PSL 2017 Match 6: Peshawar Zalmi v Lahore Qalandars Highlights

 

[hacker J]

I took names of big Indian cities and not IPL teams.

Why take the names of the cities ? when we are talking about sports ? trying to be extra smart LOL

 

[MULUBJA]

IPL is a very high profile tournament and good players get an amount in 2 month which is equal to playing for whole life in country matches in England. IPL simply can not be compared to anything else in the world of cricket.
