The first and second placed teams will play the Qualifier which gives both the teams a second shot at making the final even if they lose the match as they will play the winner of the Knockout match, played between third and fourth placed teams, in the Challenger.

As it stands, three teams have entered the BBL 13 Finals with one more spot up for grabs. Also, Brisbane Heat has confirmed the number 1 spot, while Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers have also qualified for the BBL finals.

Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars were the other two teams fighting to fill the one remaining slot in the BBL finals. Strikers, however, confirmed their spot with a victory over Sydney Thunder on Sunday (January 14).

If Strikers had failed to win their final league stage match, it would have given a chance to Melbourne Stars to take the spot with a victory over Hobart Hurricanes on Monday (January 15). But Strikers finalized the foruth team earlier. Here is the current BBL 13 Points Table:
