The 10th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL 2020-21) is upon us, and the opening match of this season will see the Hobart Hurricanes take on the Sydney Sixers at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
As we head into the new campaign, the buzz around the KFC SuperCoach BBL Fantasy League is unlike any other season. Some big names have moved bases, while other international stars have pulled out of the competition.
The BBL 2020-21 season will miss the presence of Englishmen Jonny Bairstow (Melbourne Stars) and Tom Curran (Sydney Sixers). But with stars such as Ben Cutting (Sydney Thunder) and Peter Handscomb (Hobart Hurricanes) set to don new jerseys, there's a lot to ponder over as BBL supercoach tips are also available before locking in the SuperCoach teams for Round 1.

You can login to the official BBL SuperCoach website and pick 16 players for your team - 11 players in your main team and 5 substitutes.

BBL SuperCoach Team for Round 1
The Melbourne Stars play two matches in Round 1, so pick as many Stars players as you can. The Hobart Hurricanes and the Adelaide Strikers play two matches in Round 2, and the Strikers will feature in a two-match situation in Round 3 as well.
