BBL 2025 standings: How Hobart Hurricanes are leading the pack

Melbourne: The 2025–26 BBL season is already showing signs of being closely contested, but the Hobart Hurricanes have set themselves apart at the top of the table. Their combination of smart bowling strategies and explosive batting has made them the team to beat early on. If they keep up this momentum, they could extend their lead and become strong contenders for the playoffs.

Behind the Hurricanes, things are still very tight. Several teams have just 2 points each, making every game crucial. The Sydney Thunder (THU) and Brisbane Heat (HEA) are struggling for consistency, with only one win from three matches each and negative net run rates (-0.258 and -0.755 respectively). Meanwhile, the Adelaide Strikers (STR) and Sydney Stars (STA) haven’t played enough games yet to secure their spots, but early performances suggest they could climb the standings if they maintain good form.

The Perth Scorchers (SCO) and Melbourne Sixers (SIX) sit in the middle of the pack, having traded wins and losses. This shows just how competitive the league is and highlights the importance of early-season matches for shaping playoff chances.

Overall, the 2025–26 BBL season is shaping up to be unpredictable. The next few rounds will be critical in deciding which teams cement their positions and which will have an uphill battle to make the finals.
