Most titles in franchise cricket; PS shatter massive record of MI & CSK after BBL 15 title win

Perth Scorchers defeat Sydney Sixers by six wickets at Perth Stadium to win their sixth BBL title.

Perth Scorchers etched their name into the history books after clinching a record-extending sixth Big Bash League (BBL) title. They defeated the Sydney Sixers by six wickets in the BBL 15 final at a packed Perth Stadium on Sunday.

Chasing a modest target set by the Sydney Sixers, the Scorchers produced a composed and clinical batting display on home soil. Backed by a vocal Perth crowd, the hosts paced the chase to perfection, ensuring there were no late hiccups as they crossed the line with six wickets in hand.

The emphatic victory not only reaffirmed Scorchers’ dominance in Australia’s premier T20 competition. The title also propelled them to the summit of global franchise cricket. The win capped off a remarkable BBL 15 campaign, marked by consistency, tactical clarity, and match-winning performances across departments.

World record shattered: Perth Scorchers the most successful team in franchise T20 cricket

With this triumph, Perth Scorchers shattered a major world record in franchise T20 cricket. The sixth BBL crown takes them clear of some of the biggest and most celebrated names in the global T20 ecosystem.

The Scorchers went past the likes of Indian Premier League (IPL) giants Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), as well as Caribbean Premier League (CPL) powerhouse Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR). All three franchises had previously shared the record with five titles each.

The record-breaking achievement makes Perth Scorchers the most successful franchise in the history of T20 leagues worldwide. Their six championships stand alone at the top, highlighting a culture of sustained excellence rarely seen in franchise cricket, where squads change frequently and parity is often the norm.

Most Titles in Franchise T20 Competitions

• Perth Scorchers – 6 titles (BBL)
• Mumbai Indians – 5 titles (IPL)
• Chennai Super Kings – 5 titles (IPL)
• Trinbago Knight Riders – 5 titles (CPL)
• Comilla Victorians – 4 titles (BPL)
• Jaffna Kings – 4 titles (LPL)

What sets the Scorchers apart is their ability to rebuild without losing their competitive edge. Over the years, they have seamlessly transitioned between generations, nurturing local talent while making smart overseas additions. Their success has been driven by a strong leadership group, a clear recruitment strategy, and an unwavering focus on execution in high-pressure moments.

The BBL 15 final once again showcased Perth’s big-match temperament. Against a seasoned Sydney Sixers side — themselves multiple-time champions — the Scorchers remained calm, disciplined, and ruthless when it mattered most. Their bowlers applied consistent pressure, while the batters ensured the chase never spiralled out of control.

As the celebrations erupted at Perth Stadium, the magnitude of the achievement became clear. This was not just another BBL title — it was a landmark moment in franchise cricket history. Perth Scorchers are no longer just the kings of the BBL; they are now officially the most successful franchise the T20 world has ever seen.

With BBL 15 now in the books, the Scorchers have set a benchmark that may stand for years to come — a golden standard of dominance, longevity, and winning culture in franchise cricket.
