The Perth Scorchers are set to face the Sydney Sixers in the opener of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26 at the Perth Stadium in Perth on Sunday, December 14.
Preview
In the opening game of the BBL 2025-26, Perth Scorchers (SCO) are set to face Sydney Sixers (SIX). The five-time title champions, Perth Scorchers, didn’t perform well in the previous season as they won just 4 out of 10 matches and failed to qualify for the play-offs rounds. But they are the most successful team in the Big Bash League and know how to make a comeback, so their fans will have full hope of them doing well this time.
On the other hand, the Sydney Sixers had an outstanding performance in the previous season as they won 6 games out of the 10 in the group stage and finished second in the points table. However, they lost to Sydney Thunder in the Challenger match and were eliminated from the title race. But this time the team has included many talented players like Babar Azam in the team where better performance can be expected from them. Both teams definitely want to start this season with a win in the opening game.
