Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder, 37th Match, Big Bash League 2025-26 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

18:15 Local Time, 07:15 GMT, 12:45 IST: We’re at the business end of the tournament. Three teams have already cemented their places in the playoffs, but the final spot is still up for grabs - and Sydney Sixers are firmly in the mix. A win today would take them above Brisbane Heat and into fourth place. The Sixers didn’t have the smoothest start to the campaign, losing three of their first four matches. But true to their reputation, they’ve bounced back strongly - winning three of their last four games, with the other one washed out. That run has injected real momentum, and they arrive at this fixture hungry and determined to seal a playoff berth. For Sydney Thunder, it’s been another forgettable season. They sit at the bottom of the table, already eliminated, with just two wins to their name. After making the playoffs last year, this campaign has been a major disappointment - a lack of consistency across all three departments, compounded by a five-game losing streak. That said, this is a Sydney Derby. Pride is always on the line. The Thunder are coming into this contest off the back of a win, and they would love nothing more than to spoil the Sixers’ playoff push. Bat flip and team news coming up..
