Eight finals in 15 seasons is the first thing the Sydney Sixers BBL records show. Titles arrived in 2011-12, then in consecutive summers, 2019-20 and 2020-21, while the other five finals, the latest in 2025-26, were lost.
From 175 matches played between Dec 2011 and Jan 2026 the Sixers have 102 wins against 64 defeats; another 4 were tied and 5 ended without a result. Of the games that produced a winner, they took 61.4 per cent. Moises Henriques (MC Henriques) has scored the most runs, 3,322, and Sean Abbott has taken the most wickets, 175.
Titles, finals and the season by season record
The Sixers started fast, winning 7 of 9 games and the title in the first season, 2011-12. Their best stretch came later. In 2019-20 and 2020-21 they won back to back titles, with 10 and then 11 wins in 16 games, and they reached the final again in 2021-22.
The five lost finals are spread from 2014-15 to 2025-26, three of them since 2021-22. Only two seasons have finished with more defeats than wins: 2015-16, when the Sixers won just 2 of 7, and 2017-18, at 4 wins to 6 losses.
Their latest game in the data was on 25 Jan 2026 at Perth Stadium, a 6-wicket defeat by Perth Scorchers. Before that the Sixers won five of their previous seven, including a 57-run win over Hobart Hurricanes. For the whole league, see the BBL records page.

Head to head: Thunder and Renegades beaten, Scorchers the problem
The Sixers lead six of their seven head to head records. Nowhere is the gap wider than in the Sydney derby: 19 wins to 7 against Sydney Thunder, with 3 ties or no results, as the Sixers vs Thunder page shows. Against Melbourne Renegades the count is 15 to 4.
Perth Scorchers are the exception. In 32 meetings, more than against any other side, the Sixers have won 12 and lost 19. The Sixers vs Scorchers games include the club’s top total, 220/3, made at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Jan 2025, and three of the five lowest.

Steve Smith (SPD Smith) has played far fewer games, but his numbers stand apart. He averages 47.90, scores at 151.69 per 100 balls, and owns 4 of the club’s 5 hundreds, including the club’s best, an unbeaten 125 from 66 deliveries versus Sydney Thunder on 21 Jan 2023, and 100 off 42 balls against the same side on 16 Jan 2026. James Vince made the other, 101* against Melbourne Stars.
