Following 7 long weeks of exciting cricket action along with its fair share of interruptions, the 2021/22 BBL campaign draws to a close as we reach the final match of the tournament. On Friday evening, Perth Scorchers will face reigning champions Sydney Sixers at the Docklands Stadium to decide the winners of this year's BBL Final. Perth Scorchers grabbed the short route to final after finishing at the top league-standings before dispatching the Sixers yet again in the Qualifier. Sydney Sixers were forced to take a longer road but reached the championship-match by sealing a last-ditch victory over an in-form Adelaide Strikers side in the Challenger.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing XI

With a dominant display in the Qualifier, Perth Scorchers should name the same team which defeated Sydney Sixers for the 3rd time this season.

The Scorchers batting-card looks in sweltering form with the entire line-up finding some rhythm ahead of the big clash. Kurtis Patterson is enjoying his best BBL campaign with Josh Inglis back in form after a barren spell. Mitch Marsh has been exceptional in the no.3 role this season while Colin Munro, Ashton Turner and Laurie Evans comprise a powerful middle-order.

While the Scorchers have lost a couple of key members of the bowling-unit, they still have a very potent attack. Jhye Richardson has come back into the side and made an immediate impact with the new-ball. Meanwhile Jason Behrendorff and Andrew Tye have been quite consistent all season. Ashton Agar and Peter Hatzoglou will be the two specialist spinners of the side.

Probable XI: Kutis Patterson, Josh Inglis (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner, Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing XI

While Sydney Sixers bagged a thrilling win to take it to its 3rd straight BBL final, they will be not be able to name a full-strength team.

Wicket-keeping opener Josh Philippe joined Jack Edwards on the Covid list so Hayden Kerr will remain as the opening-partner for Justin Avendano. The newcomer Jake Carder has taken up the no.3 role with Jay Lenton standing behind the stumps. Therefore the vast experience of Moises Henriques, Dan Christian and Jordan Silk will be vital in this high-stakes encounter.

There is also a great deal experience within the Sixers bowling-unit which will again be a crucial factor in high-pressure situations. Sean Abbott will lead the pace-attack with Ben Dwarshuis and Hayden Kerr being the other fast-bowlers of the side. Steve O'Keefe and Nathan Lyon will provide the spin-bowling options.

Probable XI: Hayden Kerr, Justin Avendano, Jake Carder, Moises Henriques, Jordan Silk, Dan Christian, Jay Lenton (wk), Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Lyon, Steve O'Keefe.
