14 Jan / 2026BBL: Comparison at given point (2025-26 v 2024-25)

A brief look at NRR and success rate of each team at end of 34th match (3rd Phase). Now, if we have to compare this year with last season, this season contest seems to be much closer and tighter for few teams, although Hurricanes is still leading the table successfully!.

Having said that, teams like Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers have an outside chance to qualify in KO stage. Heat has two games remaining and both against top teams, i.e Hurricanes and Sixers. On the other hand Sixers are facing Heat and Thunder(bottom of the table).  It  could be that both teams are fighting for one spot?

Below table is comparison of NRR of 2025-26/2024-25 seasons at end of 34th match. There is a contrasting performance from Melbourne Stars(No.2 table) and Sydney Thunder(last year’s finalist)
