The Big Bash League (BBL) 2025–26, also known as BBL|15, is delivering non-stop excitement as the league phase heads toward its decisive stage. With blockbuster derbies, stunning chases, and star performances, the race for playoffs is getting intense.
🏏 Hurricanes Dominate the Table
The Hobart Hurricanes currently sit at the top of the points table after winning 6 of their 8 matches, collecting 13 points so far. Their consistent performances have made them strong favourites as the finals approach.
Close behind are Perth Scorchers, Melbourne Stars, and Sydney Sixers, all tied on 8 points from 7 games each. Brisbane Heat also have 8 points from 8 matches but trail due to a lower net run rate, keeping the mid-table battle wide open.
