After 60 games in the 2021-22 Big Bash League, it all comes to this final between the Perth Scorchers and the Sydney Sixers at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. With eleven wins from fourteen games, the Scorchers finished first in the table, and the Sydney Sixers finished second in their group and had won the previous two BBL competitions.
Perth Scorchers won the group stage by a landslide and have defeated Sydney Sixers in all three of their matches this season.
After winning the last two BBL titles, the Sydney Sixers have history on their side. However, they do not have all of their finest players available; therefore, a win will be difficult to come by.
Weather
Thunderstorms are expected during the game, with a high of 22°C in Melbourne on Friday evening.
Pitch
The Marvel Stadium will be a superb batting track, and we expect a par score of around 185 in this match. Bowlers must maintain their composure and avoid becoming discouraged if they allow runs.
