Ask any Indian cricket bettor who has spent years trying to follow the Caribbean Premier League or English T20 Blast what the worst part of overseas cricket is. They will all tell you the exact same thing: exhaustion.
Waking up at 2:30 AM to place a bet or staying awake until 4:00 AM waiting for a match to finish ruins your productivity and leads to terrible, impulsive wagering decisions.
That is why the Big Bash League is the undisputed king of winter cricket for Indian sports fans.
The Daylight Saving Alignment
During the Australian summer (December through February), the eastern states of Australia—New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania—operate on Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), which is UTC+11. India operates on Indian Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30.
The time difference between eastern Australia and India is exactly five and a half hours.
When a standard night fixture at the Melbourne Cricket Ground or Sydney Cricket Ground is scheduled for a family-friendly 7:15 PM local start, simple math reveals that in India, the clock reads exactly 1:45 PM.
