Image Id: 1F4106621C6643E9908CFF3220B680E9

1st: Adelaide Strikers (12 points)
Played 8 | Won 6 | Lost 2 | NRR 0.886

The run home
Jan 22: v Renegades (away)
Jan 25: v Scorchers (away)

While the Strikers are sitting pretty at the top of the table, they face two tricky away trips on the run home and will seemingly need to win at least one of them to secure a home final.

2nd: Perth Scorchers (12 points)
Played 8 | Won 6 | Lost 2 | NRR 0.103

The run home
Jan 20: v Hurricanes (home)
Jan 25: v Strikers (home)

Having won six games despite being hit hard by injury and international selection, the Scorchers have two home games to come and are well placed for a yet another home semi-final.

3rd: Hobart Hurricanes (10 points)
Played 8 | Won 5 | Lost 3 | NRR -0.269

The run home
Jan 20: v Scorchers (away)
Jan 27: v Stars (away)

With their five-match winning streak over, the Hurricanes face two away trips to finish the season as they push to reach the finals in Gary Kirsten's first year as coach. Will their poor Net Run Rate, the second-worst in the competition, be the difference between a top-four finish and missing out on the knockout games?

4th: Melbourne Renegades (8 points)
Played 7 | Won 4 | Lost 3 | NRR 0.345

The run home
Jan 22: v Strikers (home)
Jan 24: v Thunder (away)
Jan 27: v Heat (away)

The good news for the Renegades is they have an extra game in the run home over their rivals for a finals spot. The bad news is two of them are away from home and their fate could be decided by a possible winner-takes all clash against the Heat at The Gabba on January 27.

5th: Brisbane Heat (8 points)
Played 8 | Won 4 | Lost 4 | NRR 0.167

The run home
Jan 18: v Sixers (away)
Jan 27: v Renegades (home)

The ramifications of tonight's game against the Sixers for the Heat underline just how tight the competition is; lose and they'd be favoured to miss the finals altogether, win and they will be in third spot and well in contention with one game still to play.

6th: Sydney Thunder (6 points)
Played 8 | Won 3 | Lost 5 | NRR -0.2

The run home
Jan 20: v Stars (away)
Jan 24: v Renegades (home)

The Thunder need other results to go their way if they're any hope of making the top four, but they're not done with yet. They need to beat both the Stars and Renegades handsomely to have any chance to playing finals and they will be anxiously awaiting their results of other games as much as their own.

7th: Sydney Sixers (4 points)
Played 8 | Won 2 | Lost 6 | NRR -0.233

The run home
Jan 18: v Heat (home)
Jan 23: v Stars (home)

The Sixers are out of the race for finals but are riding a two-game winning streak and could be a major factor in the finals race if they beat the Heat in Sydney tonight before their clash against last-placed Stars to round out their season.

8th: Melbourne Stars (2 points)
Played 7 | Won 1 | Lost 6 | NRR -0.917

The run home
Jan 20: v Thunder (home)
Jan 23: v Sixers (away)
Jan 27: v Hurricanes (home)

For the first time in their history, the Stars won't make the BBL finals this season. But with three games still to come and a chance to put a serious dent in the finals hopes of both the Thunder and Hurricanes, the men in green still have something to play for.
