The 2012–13 Big Bash League season or BBL|02 was the second season of the Big Bash League, the top-class Twenty20 cricket competition in Australia. The tournament began on 7 December 2012, with the final held on 19 January 2013.

Defending champions, Sydney Sixers were knocked out in the group stage. Melbourne Renegades finished first in the group stage with seven wins. Perth Scorchers, Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat were the other teams to reach the semi-finals. In the first semi-final, Brisbane defeated Melbourne Renegades by 15 runs; in the other semi-final, Perth defeated Melbourne Stars by eight wickets in a rain curtailed match to make the final for the second year row. In the final, Brisbane beat Perth by 34 runs to win their first title. Perth Scorchers finished runners-up for the second successive year.

The two finalists, Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat qualified for the 2013 Champions League Twenty20.

## Personnel signings

[edit]

The official window for signing players lasted between 9 July and 20 July 2012. Each team had a salary cap of A$1 million and could sign a maximum of 18 players and a minimum of 14, including up to two international players. The minimum playing contract was set at A$20,000.[2] Unlike the inaugural season, Cricket Australia allowed players the opportunity to sign multi-year contracts.[3]

## Format

[edit]

This season featured the same number of teams as the previous season, but included an expanded group stage of 35 matches. Each team played eight group-stage matches with the four best performing teams from the group stage advancing to the semi-final stage.

The rules for the tournament deviated from those in the laws of cricket where any no-ball will be followed by a free hit.[4]
