SYDNEY: The Men’s KFC Big Bash League (BBL) 2019 in Australia is all set to lead innovation in cricket yet again by doing away with the traditional pre-match coin toss for its eighth edition starting 19 December. Instead, the toss will be held in the form of ‘bat flips’ with the away team’s captain having to choose between their preferred side of the bat which is either ‘roofs’ and ‘flats’ as it is being tossed and it must complete at least one full rotation.
