BBL 2024-25 Points Table (Updated)
The Big Bash League 2024-25 season is heating up as the race to the playoffs intensifies. The Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes have been the standout teams, both securing qualification with 13 points each. The Sixers, with 6 wins from 9 games, boast a net run rate (NRR) of +0.156, while the Hurricanes, having played one game less, maintain a strong NRR of +0.120, underlining their consistent performances.
Sydney Thunder has also sealed a playoff spot, sitting third on the table with 11 points. They’ve displayed a balanced campaign, with 5 wins and an impressive NRR of +0.340, the best in the league so far.
The Melbourne Stars remain in contention with 4 wins from 9 games and 8 points, but their inconsistent performances and negative NRR (-0.073) could hinder their playoff aspirations. Brisbane Heat’s campaign has been shaky, securing only 3 wins, with their poor NRR of -0.863 further complicating their chances.
Adelaide Strikers, Perth Scorchers, and Melbourne Renegades round off the table, all tied at 6 points but separated by marginal NRR differences. While mathematically still in contention, these teams will need significant turnarounds and rely on other results to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The final stretch promises thrilling contests as teams jostle for playoff spots.
