Ricky Ponting said:
“This year’s BBL season has been just fantastic and totally unpredictable. The four finalists have all played their best cricket in the past two weeks and the best is yet to come.
“The Big Bash Finals always bring out the best in players, and this year is no different.
“With both the Hurricanes and the Stars chasing their maiden BBL titles and the two Sydney teams as competitive as ever, the stage is set for an unforgettable finish and we’ll be there to bring every moment to the fans live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport,”

Seven Network Head of Cricket, Joel Starcevic, said:
“This season of the Big Bash League has delivered incredible storylines and unforgettable moments, and the excitement is only building as we head into the Finals Series.
“The Thunder’s remarkable comeback from last season and the Stars’ resilience after a challenging start have been nothing short of extraordinary. All four teams have earned their place in what promises to be a Finals Series to remember.
“As always, cricket’s #1 commentary team will be on site in stadia around the country for every BBL Finals Match and we cannot wait to hear the roar of the crowd at Ninja Stadium tonight to kick it off,”
– he said.

“This Big Bash League season has been nothing short of phenomenal. From record-breaking crowds to edge-of-your-seat matches, Australians have embraced the action like never before.
“As we gear up for the Finals, Seven is proud to present the ultimate commentary lineup. Having Ricky Ponting calling every BBL final this season is a real treat for cricket fans. His unmatched passion and insights, combined with the expertise of Justin Langer and Aaron Finch, make for an unbeatable team to bring these crucial matches to life.”
“But the cricket feast doesn’t end there. With the Women’s Ashes continuing Thursday and Saturday, leading into the historic Test at the MCG from Thursday, 30 January, and the Australian Men’s tour of Sri Lanka ahead, this summer on Seven and 7plus Sport is shaping up to be unmissable,”
– he said.
