The big day is here – today we’ll find out the winners of this summer’s WBBL and BBL competitions, and as luck would have it, the same franchises are being represented in both matches.

For both the male and female competitions it’s case of the Perth Scorchers hosting the Sydney Sixers at the WACA – sorry, #TheFurnace.

In both competitions, it is the Scorchers who will go in as favourites – understandable, given they are on home soil.

For either side though it will be a chance to do the double by winning both sides of the competition – coincidentally enough, the Sydney Thunder did exactly that last year.

So what we want to know is – who are you tipping? Will it be a Scorchers double, a Sixers double, or something in between?

Check out the key information for both matches below, and then let us know in the comments who you think will win, and why.
