In-form Perth Scorchers will take on Sydney Sixers in the final of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 on Friday (January 28). It’s a repeat of the 2021 final where the Sixers triumphed by 27 runs to win the title. The Scorchers have been the most consistent team this season and comfortably reached the final.
They defeated Sixers in the Qualifier by 48 runs and earned the final berth. They have a strong batting line-up led by Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh and on-song opener Kurtis Patterson.
Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, have reached the finals for the third time in a row. They emerged as champions in the last two editions. In a nail-biting finish, they defeated Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger by 4 wickets off the final ball of the match led by Hayden Kerr’s brilliant unbeaten 98.
