The BBL 2023/24 edition saw teams like Brisbane Heat dominating the tournament to become the first team to qualify for the playoffs while teams like Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades have been eliminated with six losses in the tournament. 

With 36 out of 40 games being played in group stage of BBL 2023/24 edition, already three teams have been qualified for playoffs while remaining three of them got eliminated unfortunately which leaves only one vacant spot in for two other teams like Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars.

Here, in this article we will have a look on BBL 2023/24 points table after 36 matches and how can other two sides qualify for playoffs of this tournament.

BBL 2023/24 points table after match-36:

  • Brisbane Heat - 16 points (10 games) - 2 NR (Q)
  • Perth Scorchers - 13 points (9 games) - 1 NR (Q)
  • Sydney Sixers - 12 points (9 games) - 2 NR (Q)
  • Adelaide Strikers - 9 points (9 games) - 1 NR
  • Melbourne Stars - 8 points (9 games) - 0 NR
  • Hobart Hurricanes - 6 points (9 games) - 0 NR (E)
  • Melbourne Renegades - 5 points (9 games) - 1 NR (E)
  • Sydney Thunder - 3 points (8 games) - 1 NR (E)

The top-3 sides in the table like Brisbane Heat, Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers have already qualified for playoffs with 16, 13 & 12 points respectively, since the other five teams can't reach the threshold of 12 points even if they win their remaining games.

The bottom three sides in the table like Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder have been eliminated already, since none of those three teams can even reach a minimum of 9 points even if they win their remaining games, hence they will end up below the top four sides Brisbane Heat, Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers and Adelaide Strikers who already have nine (or) more points in the table.

Now, both Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars have one more game left in their schedule.

if Adelaide Strikers win their next match against Sydney Thunder then they will directly become fourth team to qualify for the playoffs with 11 points as Melbourne Stars can maximum get only 10 points.

If Adelaide Strikers lose their next match against Sydney Thunder then they have to wait for the result of Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes game. 

  • if Melbourne Stars lose to Hobart Hurricanes then Adelaide Strikers will still qualify
  • if Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes end in no result then Adelaide Strikers will still qualify
  • if Melbourne Stars beat Hobart Hurricanes then Melbourne Stars will qualify as fourth team for playoffs.

For Melbourne Stars to qualify, they should hope that Sydney Thunder should beat Adelaide Strikers a day earlier and later the Melbourne Stars franchise have to beat the Hobart Hurricanes for them to enter playoffs.
