Sydney Thunder (BBL): 7 seasons of league tables — position, points, net run rate — and who actually played.

Sydney Thunder appear in 7 of our Big Bash League tables, from 2016/17 to 2025/26, with 36 wins and 46 defeats from 84 league matches. Their best finish in this set is 3, in 2020/21; their lowest is 8, in 2016/17, 2025/26. Fixtures like these are covered by [cricket match betting](/en) on Cricketin.

Across those 84 matches they scored 12217 runs and conceded 12604. By net run rate their strongest season here was 2020/21 at +0.828, the weakest 2025/26 at -1.170 — a measure that ignores how close the finishes were. They did not take the title in any of the seasons we hold complete. When there is no match on, the Cricketin [casino lobby](/en/casino) is open.
